Books in the Wild: Daunt Marylebone

Yes I’ve been wandering again, and today’s post is mostly about their windows, because I’m always interested to see what they have picked – there’s always at least one that I haven’t seen before.

The Boroughs of London is – as the name suggests – a book of maps of London’s boroughs complete with commentary and trivia about them. There’s almost always a local or at least London related book in the Marylebone window. It looks like it would make a great coffee table book either for yourself or as a Christmas gift.

This is even more local than the previous book – you can practically see Regent’s Park from the shop front. This is a children’s book about a fox. All the details I can find about this suggests that it’s a small press release, very new and that this is possibly the most publicity and prominence it’s had so far!

From a Christmas children’s book to a Christmas book for adults. Advent is apparently an Icelandic Christmas classic about a man rescuing sheep in the run up to Christmas time and this is the first time in 90 years that it’s been translated into English.

And finally here’s the mixed books window – featuring Small Bomb at Dimperley in paperback, The Wedding People, Voyage around the Queen and the Glass Maker which I have waiting to be read and a mix of books I e seen around and others that I haven’t.

And that’s your lot. Have a great Saturday!

  1. I love the fact that they’re highlighting local books and less well known ones. I would certainly want to go in and look more closely at the three main books
