New Books for Spring
Our Latest Book Collection for Spring. We are delighted to share our new and forthcoming book releases for the spring season!
Exciting News from Our Iver Bookshop! Big changes are happening at our bookshop. We’re undergoing a refurbishment to create a fresh and inviting space for our visitors.
Important Update: As renovations will take place throughout April, some stock will be temporarily moved off-site. While our e-commerce services will remain fully operational, the shop will be closed to visitors from 2nd to 7th April. Additionally, some stock may remain off-site later in the month. If you're planning a visit to view specific titles, please let us know in advance so we can ensure they’re available for you.
Thank you for your support as we work to enhance our bookshop experience. We look forward to seeing new and frequent visitors soon!
Ian and Julie Johnson and all the team at Pemberley Books
