Free: lucky dip – pick a mystery proof at Red Lion Books.

During this years Independent Booksellers Week we are encouraging our customers to try something different and perhaps find a new favourite author. We have gathered together a collection of publisher’s proofs – advance reading copies of books, some published over the last year or so, some not yet officially published. Amongst them there are books by debut authors as well as some by established, best selling writers. Please take one. We have wrapped them to make this something of a lucky dip, hoping that you will discover a book you might not have known you liked. And if it turns out to be not to your taste – well why not pass it on to a friend?

Did you know that we have an ordering service for any books currently in print, which can be as quick as overnight for nearly half a million titles? Please ask for details
