Guardian bookshop

Cosy, curated and community-minded, the bookshops we cherish offer much more than a place to find a good read….

Our online and telephone ordering service is the best way to get hold of thousands of books — and more besides. From the outset it has been both an online and a telephone order service, as it continues to be until this day. It provides an outlet for Guardian and Observer writers to publish books on the subjects they, and their readers, care about. We remain very closely involved in Guardian Faber and support each new publication as it is released. Very often, you will find the best available prices on Guardian Faber books at the Guardian Bookshop.

Mon 23 October The land of the short story is a brutal land, a land very similar, in its strictness, to the land of the joke. Why is such a nice man so mean to the nice people he invents? The story The Semplica Girl Diaries was a kind of signature piece for Saunders in his more speculative mode. In this new collection, the eponymous story Liberation Day explores a similar conceit from the inside.

The same fusion of spirituality and patriotism makes Liberation Day a unique read.
