huge pile of new children's fiction

huge pile of new children's fiction

 

This is just part of a big pile of new children's fiction which we have bought today to sell in the shop and online once our new website shop is working ( probably next Friday). We have sold a lot of kids books this summer, so its a good purchase to make.

Most of the books are published this year or in the second half of 2012, so they are really up to date, but available at our usual fantastic prices. I've got some more to list tomorrow, and then Catherine will have the joy of putting them onto our shelves.
