Here is the shop looking all blue as it tends to. You’ll notice in addition to the jasminoids we’ve got a little patch of green on the right hand side, next to the cone. What will it become? In other news we have lots of books and magazines which we think are the best there are.

We’re having a little break from the 9th of August, back on the 18th. Get your summer reading sorted beforehand. Website will remain open but dispatch will recommence once we return.

Haven't had the chance to visit @raremags.bsky.social in Stockport yet, but what a lovely way to present my book – cover looking gloriously golden, and there are a few sneak peeks at the chapters & illustrations, too! raremags.co.uk/products/a-g...

We really like 2nd magazine, we import it from Japan. It’s for clothes enthusiasts. Not quite street wear, not heritage, not preppy, not Ivy, not tech, not outdoors, but all of that somehow. The yellow one is the latest and we have a little collection of back issues available too.

We’ve been a bit quite on here recently, but we’re still doing the “find all the best print from all over the place and bring it to the shop and sell it to you” thing we’ve been pioneering since 2018.

Big news, this new one is popping out next week. We will be closing for two weeks to celebrate/recover/concentrate on it. Some things are more important than selling stuff. We will be running a 10% off code online. We would love it if you supported us.

Imagine buying a magazine today? Honestly you’d feel like A BOSS So, with that in mind i want to give a Saturday shout out to @raremags.bsky.social who not only have our latest issue but also a bewilderingly good selection of other stuff, so let’s have a look & see what I want to read… 1/15

Wyrd Science – Rare Mags

One of those magazines that does exactly what it sets out to do, no messing around, cramming every page full of what they want in the magazine and nothing else. Tabletop gaming, but now with added fil...

Another section of our multi-part pre order saga is the new Tools magazine, this time taking in the act of spinning. We know a lot of you like to do that stuff. So get in on the action, copies hitting the shop early next week directly from France.

We’re here selling books and magazines (print is dead), in a physical shop (the high street is dead), writing these words using a human brain (we don’t even need to think any more though right?)
