We've had a spate of people coming into the shop, taking a deep breath and saying 'Ahh the smell of a proper bookshop' in an Ah Bisto style.

I do believe the accordionist busker has learnt a new tune.

We have signed copies of 'A Time for Heroes' by Frank Barnard. It's also set in Rye - bonus!

Our top-selling book this year so far is 'Rye Through Time' by Alan Dickinson published by Amberley Publishing

Rye, Sussex stars, little changed, in Alan Dickinson's fascinator, Rye Through Time. Same scenes, then & now. On sale Martello Bookshop...

Mmm, new books by Kaffe Fassett and Rose Tremain in today's delivery. I know someone who may be interested in them!

Someone just commented "This is the most organised book shop I've been in!" They must have been to some crazy book shops (or none at all).

Fascinating pre-work half hour watching friend's bees getting treated and fed. I even wore a beekeeper suit - how cool! Stink of smoke now.
