How thrilling! I love @JohnSandoe Books, but haven’t been there for far, far too long. And thank you, Lynne

Tipoff from a customer re. our cameo in Matthew Richardson's latest spy caper! JS is the natural destination for any bookish operatives - intelligent, discreet & effortlessly stylish in an all-black wardrobe. Our 'spy history section' is so secret even we haven't found it yet...

Jennifer Homans's new book, Mr B @GrantaBooks is stupendously good. Very lucky to have her pit-stop at Sandoe's for the podcast before flying back to NYC. She spoke to Magnus about ballet, Balanchine and his epic 20th century.

An unexpected bestseller of ours this year has been the new edition of Barbara Trapido's Brother of the More Famous Jack, in which a middle class girl falls in (and falls in love) with a family of North London academics. Pure charm. johnsandoe.com/product/broth…

We've also been particularly delighted by Jeremy Lee's glorious cookery book, witty, handsome and thoroughly delicious... A rare case of a book, rather like pets and their owners, resembling its author! johnsandoe.com/product/cooki…

And for a little novellina to tide you over (novella almost doesn't convey how slight it is), consider this corker from Claire Keegan... rural, warm, tender, 96 pages (wide spacing, big font)... what's not to like?
