Quote
for the month

 

 

 

Note Books go in and out of print all the time.  As a result prices and availability of books listed on earlier pages may have changed.

<< Previous Month's New Books Page  


We added a fair few books through November.  The bulk of additions have come from Kate who's added her recommended Astrology listing - giving us a whole new subsection in Mind/Body/Spirit.  But we've also got a fair few books on electromagnetic exposure from an excellent small publisher we found in November.  And, of course, the usual mish mash of interesting titles we've come across throughout the month.

As usual, you'll find more details of the following books and our full book listing in the browsing pages.  And check out this month's Special Offers.
