April at Far From The Madding Crowd

There’s a gentle shower of lovely things happening in and around the bookshop this month - let’s step into spring together!

Our April Event:

The Printed Book in a Digital Age

Saturday 1st April, 12noon, St Peter’s Church, Linlithgow

Join us this Saturday, for an in-depth conversation with the Founding Editor of the Analog Sea Review, Jonathan Simons.

We'll be discussing printed books in a digital age, but so much more besides.

The latest Analog Sea Review contains writing from Jon Savage, Joan Didion, Rebecca Solnit, Nan Shepherd, Eimear McBride and Norman MacCaig amongst others, as well as some beautiful artwork and lyrics.

We'll be talking about how the team behind Analog Sea choose their contributors, as well as the influence the internet is having on human connections and our real lives.

Join us at high noon and Don’t Let The Robots Get You Down!
