Frogspawn in our pond today. #SpawnSurvey

Our home and bookshop.

We are hosting “Stitch Story” a community arts project in our shop today. Here is “The Proprietor “ putting in his stitch. @TewkesburyCulture

There is something delightful about a case of books with a magnifying glass in a special drawer 😉 @ Cornell Books instagram.com/p/CbARulrAvBi/… – at Tewkesbury, England

Clearing the decks because we have bought a large number of books at auction and will be collecting them next week. A lot of research, cataloguing and shelving coming up. #secondhandbooks @ Cornell Books instagram.com/p/CZUisV8AVaw/… – at Tewkesbury, England

It is frosty here today, but the wood burning stove and a constant supply of hot tea keep the chill out. @ Cornell Books instagram.com/p/CYtcxe3goud/… – at Tewkesbury, England

The view out of the shop window this afternoon. There was a Christmas market to accompany the switching on of the town’s Christmas Lights. #tewkesbury @ Cornell Books instagram.com/p/CWi_m-6AsdX/… – at Tewkesbury, England

The Christmas decorations are up in the shop, ready for the switching on of the town’s Christmas Lights today. #tewkesbury @ Cornell Books instagram.com/p/CWi_WpUAkxE/… – at Tewkesbury, England

All bookshops should have a cat! 📚🐈‍⬛🐈 @ Cornell Books instagram.com/p/CWgakwXAAXJ/… – at Tewkesbury, England

My job today is to shelve books which have all been catalogued to sell online as well as in the shop. The problem is I keep dipping into them. An occupational hazard of being a bookseller! #secondhandbooks @abebooks instagram.com/p/CWN5XKPgBAf/… – at Tewkesbury, England

Shelving local books today. #secondhandbookshop #secondhandbooks #tewkesbury @ Cornell Books instagram.com/p/CV76EjvN9vv/… – at Tewkesbury, England

You know what they say about buses? It applies to books about buses too 😉 #secondhandbookshops #buses #transportbooks #vintagebuses @ Cornell Books instagram.com/p/CVpni9igLjZ/… – at Tewkesbury, England

Reflections on our window today. All the books in our window are a fiver each, and they turn over quite quickly! #secondhandbookshops @ Cornell Books instagram.com/p/CVYG6R6tDYC/… – at Tewkesbury, England

Shelving books is thirsty work. Fortunately I have this huge vintage Portmeirion cup to keep me refuelled. 🫖 #secondhandbookshop #portmeirion @ Cornell Books instagram.com/p/CVAcLHMggXi/… – at Tewkesbury, England

Secondhand bookshop owners should stick together! #flourishandblotts @wbtourlondon @ Harry Potter Movie Set Warner Brothers Studio, Watford Engalnd instagram.com/p/CTXlPVVAl8Y/… – at East, England

Every bookshop needs a chair, and this chair has a “new” Shakespeare cushion made from an old linen tea towel. I found it in a charity shop in Surrey. #secondhandbookshops @ Cornell Books instagram.com/p/CS1ZLEgApeV/… – at Tewkesbury, England
