Welcome to the November 2019 newsletter from Stella and Rose's Books. The aim of our newsletter is to keep you informed of new information, articles and books available on our website.
This month has seen yet more heavy rain and flooding! But we have survived it all unscathed. We have purchased a couple of very nice motoring book collections; one focused on cars, the other primarily motor cycles. And we are also in the process of purchasing yet more Folio Society books!
