Starting tomorrow, I'll be posting exlusice content to the shops new Substack that won't be featured on the social media pages.

The biggie will be monthly links to the trade catalogues I do my ordering from, so you will be privvy to EVERY title coming from the major publishers two months in advance.

To those who didn't see yesterday's post, a Substack is essentially an email mailing list. If you follow the link and Subscribe to the shop's account (it costs nothing), ALL my posts will simply drop into your emails, and you'll never miss another post because the socials algorithm decided.

Hi gang. So I'm not suseptable to the whims of the social media algorithms, I'm setting up a Substack page.

What's a Substack? Essentially a mailing list, so that if you don't want to miss one of my posts, it'll drop right into your emails as it's posted.

I'm new to this, but if it works, all you'll have to do is follow the link and sign up as a subscriber using your preferred email address.

NEVER AGAIN MISS ONE OF MY POSTS! And because the algorithm won't bury them, maybe I'll even run more posts of interest, forthcoming previews and so forth.
