As the government and most citizens seem to have decided that this very dangerous virus has somehow disappeared and we should all go back to normal, The Customs House in West Bay, Dorset, where Matt ArtPix and Arcane have a unit. will be reopening on MONDAY 15TH JUNE. There will be a one-way system and various protocols in place to keep everyone safe, but of course we cannot deny that this is a massive gamble. We went to the unit on Friday to get it all nice and ready with some exciting items for people to purchase if they feel like it. Or the reopening won't happen as we'll be hit by a second wave of dangerous infection. We're on our own and we do need to take responsibility for our own behaviour and make our own risk assessment and decisions. Up to you...  We still have a few paperbacks left in the unit, these will be the last ones to be added to the shelves... A bargain at 75p!  We have a few volumes of classic fiction.
 Of course, we have a few of our own books for sale, as single copies or as two-book bundles!  We also have a few of our collectable, vintage and pre-loved books... We are planning on starting work on our online shop over the summer, watch this space!
