There were only four copies left on Amazon so obviously the book is selling fast.

If a leftist or a British Muslim posted something like this, they would go to prison for a long time.

In the center is a large, oval-shaped galaxy, with a shining, ringed core. Left of its center is a second, smaller galaxy with two spiral arms. The galaxy pair is so close that they appear to be merging: a tail of material with a few glowing spots connects from one of the smaller galaxy’s spiral arms to the larger galaxy. A faint halo surrounds both galaxies. Several stars are visible around the pair.

Please support bookshops.

Independent bookshops.

They are so wonderful. Yes you pay a little more.

But I think of it as paying for the experience.

The experience of browsing.

And that oh-so-important bookshop smell. πŸ––
Fu** big corporations.
