Message to our customers and supporters regarding COVID-19
Yesterday we took the decision to close Housmans Bookshop to the public until further notice. This is to comply with social distancing safety measures to protect our staff, volunteers and customers. Staff will be working remotely on some of the bookshop’s longer term projects and we are working out ways to continue to be of service in some capacity. Updates will be posted on our website and social media.
We hope that you remain safe and look forward to seeing you again as soon as possible.
Catherine, Cristina and Nik, Managers of Housmans Bookshop
Two new additions to the OUTSPOKEN series by @plutopress have just landed 🙌
.
.
these books are timely, accessible, intersectional introductions to some of the most important issues of our time. They're great if you don't want a 7000 page tome but you do want to read and think critically about contemporary politics. Recommended gifts for that person in your life who needs a political reboot, too 🤔
.
.
SPLIT by Ben Tippet looks class divides, where they come from and how they shape our lives.
.
.
FEMINISM, INTERRUPTED by Lola Olufemi rejects feminism as fashionable label or t-shirt slogan and reclaims it as a powerful weapon against social injustice
.
.
and MASK OFF by JJ Bola (released last year) breaks down gender myths and calls for a liberating redefinition of masculinity
.
.
All in store now but we can take orders by email and phone too 📞 💻 .

Very chuffed to have the wonderful Rachel Mann read from her poetry collection "A Kingdom of Love", published by @carcanetpress, next Wednesday at 7pm. Tickets in link in bio.
Rachel will be reading some of her poems and discussing the themes with Roz Kaveney.
Rachel defines herself as trans, a priest, poet, canon, writer and broadcaster.
This event is ideal if you don't get round to reading much poetry but have always wanted to. Rachel and Roz will be chatting about how poetry can bring us together in difficult times.

We love publishers with a strong identity. AND OTHER STORIES @andotherpics is one of our favourite presses. They publish some of the most interesting contemporary fiction around, including lots of fiction in translation from authors sometimes overlooked in the UK. They publish some of our favourite writers (Michelle Tea!). And their books look gorgeous.

This is not a sponsored post we promise 😬 We just love And Other Stories. 🥰
