It’s totally Diane’s shop …
Her charisma, passion, enthusiasm, warmth, taste and drive permeate all elements of the business. Everything we do reflects this – whether it’s the bright and quirky look and feel of the shop, the curation designed to stimulate and inspire, the welcoming way we interact with all customers or even our upbeat social media presence, it’s Diane through and through.
Products to help you be your best self
Diane personally selects all our fabulous books based on their ability to thrill, inform, entertain and fulfil. We focus on fiction and non-fiction by and about strong women, inclusivity and conservation on both the adult and children’s side of the store. We pride ourselves in being the first to stock the best new titles for you to add to your collection.
Whenever we can, we get hold of special editions, too – signed and with sprayed edges if possible. DO choose a book by its cover!
She also puts together what we’ve been told is one of the UK’s best ranges of the oh-so-cute and collectable Maileg Mice and selects our radical range of feminist T-shirts, too.
