May 2013 Travel Book of the Month. A uniquely charming, droll, moving, British narrative from writer and poet Simon Armitage as he recounts his 256 mile (North to South) walk along the Pennine Way. Particularly fascinating is that he took no money and either bartered his way through or survived on any money he made at poetry readings. ]]> http://www.lovereading.co.uk//book/8656/Walking-Home-by-Simon-Armitage.html

Having mined her own memories and those of her colleagues, Jen Campbell opens her challenge for Weird things Customers say to fellow Booksellers worldwide. As a Bookseller of long standing, weird customer sayings and queries were like beacons in the desert, there was the thrill of the chase, could we really track down that book with a green cover by a woman that died and the wonderment of being asked for nasal sprays and spectacular temper tantrums to be marvelled at when we couldn’t identify a tune being hummed to us. A guilty pleasure then to read Jen Campbell’s collection of tales but guilty because without customers where would Bookshops be and indeed where would all these marvellous, eccentric, forgetful, mad, stupid, vain, silly and essential customers be without bookshops, The Internet won’t be listening, that’s for sure.   Like for Like Reading Weird Things Customers Say in Bookshops, Jen Campbell Ex Libris: Confessions of a Common Reader, Anne Fadiman ]]> http://www.lovereading.co.uk//book/8559/More-Weird-Things-Customers-Say-in-Bookshops-by-Jen-Campbell.html

Terra Incognita Travels in Antarctica
Sara Wheeler

Format: Paperback - Released: 04/09/1997
Lovereading Price: £7.49 - Saving £2.50 (25%)

After writing two highly praised travel books, Sara Wheeler was accepted by the American government to be the first foreigner on their National Science Foundation's Antarctic Artists' and Writers Program. She spent six weeks at the pole and on the edge of the infamous Ross Ice Shelf, as well as another month with the British Antarctic Survey. Terra Incognita is a meditation on the landscape, myths and history of one of the remotest parts of the globe, as well as an encounter with the people who inhabit this region - living in close confinement despite the surrounding acres of white space - and the mechanics of day-to-day life in extraordinary conditions. Through Sara Wheeler, the Antarctic is revealed, in all its seductive mystery. ]]> http://www.lovereading.co.uk//book/8033/Terra-Incognita-Travels-in-Antarctica-by-Sara-Wheeler.html
