@UllapoolB is a truly fabulous independent bookshop in the wonderful harbour town of Ullapool - always a treat to visit, and a treat to see them featuring Of Stone and Sky in the local fiction section. Thanks, team! 🙏 @PolygonBooks
Books from the #Highlands One of the areas we pride ourselves in at @UllapoolB is our #localfiction either by Authors who live in the Highlands / Islands, or by those who have set their novels here. The choices change frequently, but it's always a joy to talk about these books.
