Is it that time of year already?

No. Of course it isn't.

But tomorrow it will be exactly two months before Christmas and so, clearly, that must mean that smug people will start telling everyone who will listen that they've already done their Christmas shopping.

I'm not saying buy my books because they'd make excellent Christmas gifts. But only because you already know that so there's no point in telling you.

Just as you know that you should order them from me and get them signed and blah blah price match blah blah free shipping (UK only).

But maybe buy something from an independent craftsman or a local author or a market. Something made by the person who is selling it to you. Something that will definitely be different to every other gift the lucky recipient will, er, receive.

Maybe here if you're in south London. Or, for a little more money but a whole load of beautiful craftsmanship and design, how about one of these items?

Or recently (and lovingly) reprinted classics by a once famous Scottish writer?

Any other suggestions? Send them in and I'll add them.
