Happy Christmas from Mostly Books

For eleven and a half months of the year, we try to make Mostly Books a haven of calm, tranquility - and bookish recommends. We ask after customers, their friends and family - and find out which books have been read and enjoyed.

In the last couple of weeks of the year this becomes much, much harder.

Before the festive season spins out of control (which it often threatens to do) we just wanted to take this opportunity - from the heart - to say a big 'thank you' to all of you - customers, blog readers, family, friends and supporters in the book trade. Some of you pop in once a year, others come several times a week. Many we consider friends and together you give us incredible support that allows us to continue to run Mostly Books in one of the most challenging business environments: the High Street.

So, if you still have gifts to buy - or just want to pop in for bookish delights over the holiday period - we thought you might appreciate our opening hours between now and the New Year:

• Sat, Dec 20 (9am - 6pm)
• Sun, Dec 21 (11am - 3pm)
• Mon, Dec 22 (9am - 6pm)
• Tue, Dec 23 (9am - 6pm)
• Christmas Eve (9am - 3pm)
• Christmas Day / Boxing Day (closed)
• Sat, Dec 27 (9am - 5pm)
• Sun / Mon, Dec 28 / 29 (closed)
• Tue, Dec 30 (10am - 4pm)
• Wed, Dec 31 (10am - 3pm)
• Thur, Jan 1 (closed)
• Fri, Jan 2 (10am - 4pm)
• Sat, Jan 3 (9am - 5pm)

Wherever you are spending Christmas this year, we hope you get a chance to relax, celebrate - and enjoy one of two good books.

Happy Christmas from Mostly Books!
