Nora works in 'The Second Hand Bookworm' - a cosy, winding, labyrinth of a shop with room, upon room, upon room of used and antiquarian books. The week starts normally enough, with a visit from the notorious Ravens - two infamous ladies who leave a deluge of carrier bags behind the counter and argue in whispers - a man who changes his fashion with his literary tastes, a stranded seagull and the remains of the villainous Map-Boy, but as the days pass Nora finds herself battling torrential rain and sandbags, mad Mr. Hill who sells his books only to buy them back the next day, an erratic Daytime Soap actor, a paranoid Polish Count, old ladies en mass waving postcards and demanding stamps, the local Ghost Buster, someone determined to sell his dog-sick covered books and much, much more. And then there's Humphrey... It's an ordinary weeks in the life of a second hand bookshop... 

VOLUME TWO: DUE FOR RELEASE MAY 2012 - AVAILABLE FROM AMAZON AND OUR ONLINE SHOP
