Our news comes in three sizes today; big; bigger; and huge . . . We'll let you decide which is which!
Dowager Duchess of Devonshire to Celebrate the Opening of our New Premises!
We are delighted to announce that Deborah Devonshire, author of the best-selling Wait for Me!, will be launching the new Much Ado on Friday, 22 October.

The Dowager Duchess of Devonshire will also be signing copies of her book during the afternoon celebration.

To attend this extraordinary event and have Deborah Devonshire sign a book for you, please purchase your copy of Wait for Me! (�20) from Much Ado in advance.

The shop is , of course, likely to be closed (see below for details) but you can call us on 01323 871222, or simply e-mail us.

There are a limited number of places to attend, so please get in touch soon!
Much Ado Leads Independent List of Top Bookshops
Saturday morning started with a bang for us, when we opened The Independent and found their round-up of the 50 best bookshops in the country leads off with Much Ado.

We are proud to be named among the best bookshops; we never expected to be on the list, and much less that we would be given pride of place.

Happily, independent bookshops dominate the list. We know many of our e-newsletter subscribers live too far away from Alfriston to visit us regularly, and we would like to think of our customers supporting other independent shops.

So we include a link to the article. Perhaps you might like to read what they had to say about us - and also see if another of the top bookshops might be in your area.

Moving Sale - Old and Antiquarian Books just �2 each
Our High Street premises is rapidly emptying; by the time you read this most of our new books will be in cartons or already in the new space, and almost all our bookcases will have been shifted over.

But there are still lots and lots of old books that we won't be taking along. So for the weekend of 16-17 October stop in for a massive �2 sale - every second-hand book priced to go for just �2!

Plus, a selection of new titles will be on offer at bargain prices as well.

We'll plan to be open on the High Street Saturday 16 October from 10 to 5:30 and Sunday 17 October 10:30 until 5.

Because we'll have no phone, we'll only be able to accept cash or cheques.
Sorry, We're Closed
Much Ado is all boxed up just now, and there's not much to browse through. Except for the weekend of our book sale (see above), we don't expect to be open.

However if you need to order a book, or pick up a volume you've previously ordered, we'll be happy to help - call us on 01323 871222.

We look forward to seeing you in the new Much Ado - don't forget our Open House on the weekend of 23-24 October!
