WE'VE JUST RESTOCKED! One of the best bits of working in a bookshop is when all the deliveries arrive like wee gifts. We've had a big old restock since our marathon all-nighter, so rock on by to check out what's new and discover old favourites! . . #typewronger #typewrongerbooks #bookshop #edinburgh

We've just been gifted a rose for Valentine's Day - it's such a lovely gesture, but also to learn that we're this person's safe space when the world is overwhelming has touched our hearts. A rose is a rose is a rose - so shines a good deed in a naughty world.

These are Typewronger All-Night Bookshop deluxe tote bags, hand printed by our friends at @ootblueprint in Night Shop Purple, with purple handles and purple sides. The logo is a combination of our shop stamp and the time stamp. These will only be available in the Typewronger All Night Bookshop!

Typewronger All-Night Bookshop Fundraiser: How to Help! - After our last post we've had so many comments and emails with folk asking how best to support the shop, so here goes! #typewronger #fundraising #notforproffit #donate #books #bookshop #comunity

On Saturday the 21st of February the shop will be open all the way through the night as we're fundraising to pay our bills!

WE'RE OPEN! Stock Take is DONE, and though it's always a bit of a slog, this year it was wonderful to discover so many titles we have on our shelves - I know it's a wee shop, but there's a couple of thousand books in stock and yesterday we uncovered many hidden gems - come take a look!

URGH! Stock Take! Disgusting! Gang, you know how much I detest closing the shop, but I'm afraid we've got to for annual stock take - that's right, tomorrow (Thursday the 22nd) is the one day of the year Typewronger will not open to the public at all - we'll be back as usual at 11am on Friday!

Every 2nd Sunday of the month starting from February, our bookseller Alex Victor will be hosting Typewronger's own No Homework Book Club, a format that requires no prior reading! Limited to 12 spaces - info & booking at typewronger.com/events #edinburgh #BookSky💙📚 #bookclub

WHOOPS - TypeWriters is on the 30th - the Eventbrite deets were correct, the graphic mistakenly showed the 29th. Sorry gang!

WRONG DIRECTIONS WINTER SUBMISSIONS CLOSE TOMORROW AT MIDNIGHT! The mysterious editor TSJH famously hates love poetry - so don't send none of that nonsense - and is a stickler for the submissions guidelines which you'll find on the Wrong Directions page under the "about" section of typewronger.com

We got asked to take a picture of the team outside the shop for some forthcomming news stuff. The first pic is the winner, but I thought I'd include some of the others of us goofing around. Many thanks to Tai Kedzierski for taking these and enduring our nonsense!
