New Books on Entomology and Natural History
Newly Published Books. We are pleased to present our list of new and forthcoming titles published in May and June.
Shop Renovation Update. Our shop renovation has progressed very well. The shop now features new flooring and freshly painted interiors, creating a brighter and more inviting space. Our fantastic team has worked tirelessly, reorganizing the stock and moving bookcases, all while continuing to serve our online customers.
Visitors who have seen the improvements so far have shared very positive feedback. So we look forward to welcoming many more customers in the coming months and hope they will enjoy the refreshed look and feel of the shop.
