A Century Not Out, my short story has now sold well over 200 copies. DM me for a copy at special price of a fiver or find at online bookshops #Cricket #CricketWorldCup #shortstories
I couldn't resist buying this from an antique centre in Beverley. Apparently it's quite a melancholic story about a suicidal bookseller. Interestingly Written by William Darling, Grandfather of Alastair, the ex Labour Chancellor! See it @OxfordBookFair very soon. @pbfaorg
A few new acquisitions. Coming to a book fair near you soon! @pbfa @OxfordBookFair

Maladroit. This is my word of the day. Someone who stumbles socially. I heard Sunak being described as maladroit because of the way he's walked into lots of problems of his own making. It fits perfectly.
Well, I had a nice surprise opening the post this morning. Chris Saunders is a worldwide authority on cricket books. He liked reading my short story so much he agreed to put it in his catalogue. Took a while but he sold all the copies I sent. #Cricket #cricketer @cricketmonthly

As my old shop is about to be regenerated again (like Dr. Who) I thought some of you would like to see some previously unseen pictures. So, for a trip down Mr. Books memory lane see my Instagram account here instagram.com/tonbridgeblog?… #mrbooks #tonbridge #tonbridgeoldfirestation
