Discount on damaged copies of The Book of Thoth and more novels in our unit in West Bay...

Picture
A burst pipe in the Arcane Publishing office has damaged some of our stock!
2020 just keeps on giving, doesn't it?

We therefore have nine copies of The Book of Thoth for sale at a massive discounted price and I will be putting them in our unit in West Bay this week. This breaks our heart as printing this book has been a big expense, but we do not wish to flog damaged copies at full price. 



We are also freeing some shelf space in our HQ and will be adding loads of novels to the bookshelf in the unit. The selling prices will be between 50p and £2, so if you are on holiday in West Dorset and haven't got anything to read, then head down to West Bay this weekend and you'll find some replenished shelves waiting for you! 
We are a bit gutted as we have lost three pretty good items of stock due to the leak, but it could have been worse. 
And we've had to empty the whole office so we've got a lot of sorting out to do once the floorboards and carpet have dried out!
