England’s Lane Book Group
The democratic process triumphs again – we’ve selected the next book for our monthly Book Group! On Thursday 14th June, at 7pm, we’ll be discussing The Blank Wall by Elizabeth Sanxay Holding, a neglected classic of suspense from peerless publisher Persephone. For more information, and to sign up to the group, visit our book group page, phone on the usual number, or simply drop in to the shop.
Summertime Art at ELB
Come and see an ongoing exhibition in your local bookshop!
England’s Lane Books are delighted to announce the return of the finer arts to our humble shop, starting from Thursday 14th June. We’ve teamed up with three excellent local artists – printmaker Rebecca Denton, painter June MacCarthy and ceramicist Jacqui Ramrayka – for a group show. Works will be for sale exclusively through the bookshop – although, of course, you’re more than welcome to simply enjoy some beautiful art in a literary surrounding. For a sneak preview, check out our gallery here.
