UPPSALA | Friday 8th–Saturday 9th July

The weather looks great so we’re making a second attempt at our Summer Sidewalk Super Sale in Uppsala. Starts on Friday 8th July at 13:00, and on Saturday 9th July at 12:00. 

We’re chucking out loads and loads of really good titles we need to get rid of (shop’s a little TOO charmingly cluttered of late) – and (and I’m going to shout now) THE PRICES ARE AMAZING!

Any 1 book for 20 kronor. (Dirt cheap, I know but wait...)
Any 4 books for 50 kronor. (Wow! That's cheap, but hold on... )
Any 10 books for 120 kronor. (Say what????)

Yes – sale is on Friday afternoon and Saturday only, and while stocks last and we still have strength.

UPPSALA | Friday 1st–Saturday 2nd July

**********
The Sidewalk Supersale is cancelled this Saturday. (Too rainy...) Or rather postponed – we'll be back next week. As will the sunny summer weather... Watch this space for next opportunity to make crazy bargains.

Tomorrow afternoon, Friday 1st July, at 1 pm, on the sidewalk in front of our little corner shop your minds will be blown (but not your wallets)!!!

SO – go home and sleep now, and after a lovely lazy morning, come downtown and make the bargain of a lifetime. Bring a little money and a trolley.

Midsummer is here and the bookshops will be closed for a few days for midsummer celebrations – so stock up on your midsummer’s reading today. (Reading is fortunately an every-kind-of-weather activity…).

The Uppsala shop will be closed Friday and Saturday, and the Stockholm shop Friday–Sunday.

Have a great Midsummer weekend, wherever you are.
We’ll be back in business again after the holidays.
