Bob's writing has changed my life for the better; I am just sad I cannot move to Broughty Ferry to experience it for myself.

Excellent book; a must have for fans of Bob.

I had already listened to the book

I had already listened to the book, but I loved it so much I bought it to have and to hold. This is a fab edition with sprayed edges. Again, it was sent quickly and well wrapped.

My favourite Bookhouse

The Bookhouse is one of the nicest small independent family run bookshops, and can be found in Broughty Ferry. In the shop books for all interests live, waiting to be picked up and read. You never feel rushed when browsing the shelves to find your next adventure, whether in paperback or hardback and recommendations are always available should you find the choice overwhelming.
When shopping, either in person or online you feel part of the Bookhouse family. I occasionally leave without a book but that's not often.
I can not recommend the Bookhouse highly enough, go visit, browse and enjoy but leave some books for the rest of us.

Peter was very helpful

I needed help with sourcing a book and some vouchers, and getting them to my friend before her birthday. As she is in Dundee and I’m in Sydney, I relied on the Internet to discover this lovely bookshop, and hoped for the best. Unprompted, Peter thoughtfully contacted me to tee things up and ensure they were delivered in time. I’m happy to recommend Peter’s store and look forward to visiting when I’m in those parts!

Lovely little hardback

Lovely little hardback - it's such a joy to have a real stitched building! The illustrations are perfect too. I'm going to collect the whole series gradually...
