Always a joy when finished copies of our books arr Always a joy when finished copies of our books arrive, especially when they are this beautiful. Cottongrass Summer by Roy Dennis will be out later this month. A collection of vibrant essays to inform, stimulate and inspire every nature lover. Through unparallelled expertise as a field naturalist, Roy Dennis is able to write about the natural world in a way that considers both the problems and the progress in ecology and conservation. Beginning with cottongrass, whose snow-white blooms blow gently in the wind across the wetter moors and bogs, this is a year-round trove of insight and knowledge for anyone who cares about the natural world. . @treesforlifeuk @scotlandtbp @rspbhighlandsupporters @scottishwildlifetrust. . . #wildlifeconservation #scottishwildlife #rspb #roydennis #conservation #nature #naturewriting #habitatprotection #wildlife #naturalworld #scotland #davidattenborough #bookstagram #amreading #booksofig #naturebook #naturelover
We always write a wee note to say thank you to eve We always write a wee note to say thank you to everyone who orders from our online shop. We know it’s only a small gesture and we wish we could do more to show you how grateful we are. The past few months have demonstrated a cultural shift towards shopping small and local, and we hope this attitude continues. As bookshops are reopening across the UK we hope you will visit them and make the effort to support small independents. We know it will be a while till things are back to normal though, so our online shop is still open for those of you who can’t safely access independent bookshops. We love getting orders from readers and seeing what you choose. And as always, we will write a wholehearted thank you to you. . . #bookshops #bookstagram #shopsmall #supportsmallbusiness #shopindie #amreading #reopening #bookshopsareback #booksaremybag

📷: @samreadbookseller. Showcasing Rocks and Rai 📷: @samreadbookseller. Showcasing Rocks and Rain, Reason and Romance by David Howe (and some wonderful sunshine from last week). A story of the landscape, history and people of the Lake District - England’s most dramatic landscape. Home to vistas of stunning beauty and a rich heritage, it’s an area of England that fascinates, inspires and has bewitched David for a lifetime. He reveals how half a billion years of shifting ice, violent volcanoes and (of course) falling rain have shaped the lakes and the fells that have fired the imaginations of the great sons and daughters of the area. Signed copies available from Sam Read bookseller. . . . . #lakedistrict #geology #naturebooks #bookstagram #igreads #igbooks #instareads #instabooks #bookblogger #newbooks #indiebooks #indiepublishing #shopindie #supportsmall #bookstagramuk #bookchat #bookoftheweek #bookoftheday #bookclub #readersofinstagram #bookclubofinstagram #whattoread #greatreads #readingaddict #amreading

#PrideMonth When Chitra Ramaswamy discovered she w #PrideMonth When Chitra Ramaswamy discovered she was pregnant, she and her partner longed for a book that went above and beyond a manual; a book that did more than describe what was happening in her growing body. One that, instead, got to the very heart of this overwhelming, confusing and exciting experience. . Expecting takes the reader on a physical, emotional, philosophical and artistic odyssey through pregnancy. The sum is a book of intimate, strange, wild, and lyrical essays that pay tribute to this most extraordinary and ordinary of experiences. . . . #bookstagram #LGBTQreads #LGBTQbooks #igreads #igbooks #instareads #instabooks #bookblogger #newbooks #indiebooks #indiepublishing #shopindie #supportsmall #bookstagramuk #bookchat #bookoftheweek #bookoftheday #bookclub #readersofinstagram #bookclubofinstagram #whattoread #greatreads #readingaddict #amreading
