@Dorianlynskey Which ones do you recommend, Dorian?

Before and after of our stand at the @pbfaorg June Edinburgh Book Fair - come see us on George IV Bridge until 4pm today!

@jk_rowling Highly recommend this episode of @OriginStorycast in which @IanDunt talks about Harriet Taylor Mill as the historically erased co-author of John Stuart Mill. We can then discuss Ian’s feminist credentials. pod.link/1624704966/epi…

Kemi Badenoch and I might not agree on a lot, but how often are male politicians called ‘spiteful’? And what’s the issue with her manner, Ian? Did she fail in womanly sweetness, kindness and deference?

Rabbits for Profit and Rabbits for Powder, on the #cataloguersdesk. A ‘dry subject if when boiled down he is not smothered with a somewhat pungent and highly-flavoured sauce’.

McNaughtan's @mcnbooks in Leith currently at the top of my longish list of indie bookshops in Edinburgh. Worth the short bus trip out. These two finds want to know where I'm going to find room for them. Another bookshop @tweetwronger next door.

We’re closed for the long Easter weekend - see you on Tuesday 2nd April!

The Edinburgh Book Fair is now open! Two floors, dozens of booksellers with rare, collectible, secondhand, and interesting books, prints, ephemera, and other fascinating objects. Find us at the Radisson Blu on the Royal Mile until 7pm today and 10am to 4pm on Saturday.

Clarence found an old 1978 Yellow Pages recently so of course he turned to 'Books, rare and secondhand'. Surprised to see how few were listed. Just @mcnbooks and ourselves (listed as West Port Books) left

We are closed today - back to normal on Monday! Apologies for any inconvenience.

And we’re live at Firsts Online, where we have a selection of new acquisitions not listed anywhere else online. Find us at stand 14! firsts-online.com
