New Paperbacks for a New Season
Selected by the Bookshop
There’s a lot to feel good about over here at Bury Place. Spring has finally sprung; we all survived the annual stock take; the next instalment of On the Calculation of Volume is finally out.

Here’s our selection of new paperbacks – either new releases or recent titles now out in paperback – that are the perfect size to bring with you when you too want to depart for the local park.
