Lots of interesting new fiction and nonfiction releases, just in time for some weekend book browsing. From The Blazing World of revolutionary England, to Greek mythology, to women fighting the espionage Cold War & sexism. #Edinburgh #Bruntsfield #books #NewReleases

Thanks to all the people (1354 of you) who've borrowed The Smallest Man from a library - not everyone knows this, but authors get a small fee every time their book gets borrowed, so if you want to support authors, it's better to do that than buy secondhand.
