Contemporary bookshop located in the heart of Bristol's vibrant Wapping Wharf. Member of the Alliance of Radical Booksellers.
From Jarvis Cocker to Maxine Peake, 'Creative Journeys' brings together decades of conversations with some of the most inspiring creative minds around. @davehaslam.bsky.social will be on tour this Autumn, with special guests to be announced – see you at a bookshop or festival near you? #booksky
Under a Binface government, anyone who doesn’t accept human-made climate change as fact will be sent back to school, from Year 1 right the way to A Levels, to see if anything goes in the second time round. #VoteBinface
When the story of why humanity didn't stop climate change is written, it will feature front pages like this. Even as the skies blacken with climate change-induced wildfires, right wing media continue their relentless crusade against measures to tackle it.
It's awesome that HeadFirst Bristol selected my upcoming chat with the incredible @ajwestauthor.bsky.social about his book How Queer Bookshops Changed the World as an Editor's Pick! We'll be @bookhaus.bsky.social on 3 August, info can be found here: www.headfirstbristol.co.uk/whats-on/boo...
How Queer Bookshops Changed the World with AJ West at Bookhaus
Independent bookshops are the unsung heroes of queer liberation, providing friendship, solidarity and sanctuary through the ages. ‘A terrific read!’ Jane Cholmeley, author of A Bookshop of One’s O...

More than a decade ago, a group of young, internet-connected Belarusian dissidents launched a series of increasingly high-stakes, increasingly surreal confrontations with the corrupt, authoritarian government of Alexander Lukashenka, a man who is often called "the last Soviet dictator." 1/

Next installment of the book signing/university tour is Bristol's wonderful @bookhaus.bsky.social in Wapping Wharf. And after last night's hobbity accommodation, I'm on the hunt for SECOND breakfast. I'm liking my first ever visit to the city. #naturewriting @summersdalebooks.bsky.social
Nic Wilson@nicwilson.bsky.social · 2mo agoSinging along to 'Paperback Writer' 40 years ago on holiday in the back of my grandparents' old VW camper van, I honestly never thought I'd become one. But today, I am! Get your copy of Land Beneath the Waves from the wonderful Word on the Water London Bookbarge: uk.bookshop.org/p/books/land...
Very excited to be interviewing Claire Fuller at @bookhaus.bsky.social in Bristol for the launch of her new novel, Hunger and Thirst. Unsurprisingly, it’s another banger of a book. 💥
I don't care who you are, there will always be times when hell is other people. Not because other people are horrible - quite the opposite! Other people are *wonderful*, but boy are they ever *stubborn*. 1/

I don't know why this is so hard for some people to grasp. If we extend our use of fossil gas, rather than going all-out for grid batteries, heat pumps and induction hobs, we extend our dependence on *foreign* sources of gas, regardless of whether we also use the UK's last remaining reserves. 🧵
We are getting there but a fair to go still. Help us get to 50% before we enter the final two weeks! We need a space like this in Newcastle! www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/booksfromb...

These stories are 7 years apart. It not only illustrates Marx’s theory of capital as a “vampire” (literally), but also how it progressively erodes working-class life: “Accumulation of wealth at one pole is…at the same time accumulation of misery…at the opposite pole.”
I actually have a Kindle so I can read at night without turning the light on and waking my partner, but this is a disgrace from Amazon www.techradar.com/tablets/erea.... Real books will never do this to you
