November 2021 Newsletter
Welcome to the November 2021 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.
Autumn is now in full swing in the Wye Valley and the trees are putting on their usual stunning display. Our photo this month gives a flavour - although photos never do it justice.
The yearly Christmas rush has started already and whilst we can't guarantee that international parcels will arrive in time for the festivities, we'd encourage you to get your orders in as soon as possible. For UK orders, we'd suggest you place your orders no later than the 13th of December to guarantee delivery in time.
We have a new contributor for our 'article of the month': Phill has provided an interesting insight into the world of fishing. And do you know which publisher specialised in producing books for "those who wear their food and eat their clothes"? Find out in Rosemary's 'featured book' article! We hope you enjoy the newsletter!
