Book of the Week
Spring Unfurled is the first in a stunning seasonal quartet from beloved printmaker and illustrator Angela Harding. 'Seasonal change has always been a great inspiration for my artwork. I love the changing light that brings new colours and smells. The seasons are nature's clock.'
Taking in landscapes across the UK, from views from her home studio in Rutland to the Scottish wilderness, via the low-lying marshlands of Suffolk and the windswept hills of Yorkshire, the beautiful illustrations and evocative imagery of the prose make this the perfect book for nature lovers and art lovers everywhere.
Blog of sorts
We have linked all of our past newsletters here (from 2025 so far!) so if you are not signed up to receive it you can read them here and get a taste of inspiration and insight into bookshop news and life.
If you would like to sign up to receive our weekly newsletter you can do so HERE or at the bottom of any page.
There is no better way to support us than visiting the bookshop in person or getting in touch via phone or email for collection in Biggar.
If you would like to support us online please use our partner Bookshop.org. They have created an online platform that helps independent bookshops across the country by offering an alternative way to shop online while being conscious of a bricks and mortar business. Browse their titles below.
"I have never been in a more perfectly designed bookshop, with a lovely integration of the books themselves and various bold and charming artworks. The books are everywhere, somehow all folded into an incredibly small place, like a ship’s cabin. I did an event there recently and by the end was trying to work out how I could relocate my family to Biggar. It was like being given a brief glimpse of an ideal place and then being cruelly chucked back into London.’
Simon Winder, author of Lotharingia
Looking for inspiration?
Browse or order
We love to talk about books, recommend books and appreciate books with anyone interested so don’t hesitate to ask. You will find some of our recommended titles here and many, many more in the shop as well as a very efficient (usually next-day) ordering service.
Bricks and Mortar
We are a proudly bricks-and-mortar high street shop. We believe independent bookshops are a special place to visit and so much of the pleasure of reading is going into a bookshop, having a browse, chatting about exceptional (or not!) books and experiencing the soul and atmosphere of reading.
Events
We run a vibrant events programme throughout the year and work closely with the local community, schools and the library to curate a wide range of interesting and inspiring sessions. Be the first to hear about these by signing up to our newsletter, or check out what is coming up soon on the events page.
The beautiful artwork you see is by the talented Fiona Gibson, author, artist and friend.
