Great new books!
Are you looking for ideas for new books to buy for yourself, or someone else in your family? We are always full of ideas, and here's a small selection of books we think are great:

The Knife of Never Letting Go is fantastic! Patrick Ness' first teenage novel, its absolutely brilliant, and should be read by teens and adults alike - the first of a trilogy, and I'm already hugely impatient for Part Two. So exciting, pretty scary, very good!

The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman. Another one that is suitable for children and adults, a great supernatural story

Some of the best humour books this year.. Evil Penguins, QI:Advanced Banter (a typically excellent collections of quotations), The Best of Punch Cartoons (a huge collection, spanning most of the last century), Chocolate & Cuckoo Clocks (the best of Alan Coren)...

And there's some great photogrpahy books this year - Canyon Wilderness, Steve Bloom's Africa..

We have lots more suggestions and more ideas on our website: www.dulwichbooks.co.uk


We also have a great selection of signed books, which make a lovely present:

Double Cross - Malorie Blackman

The Dirty South - Alex Wheatle
The Post-Birthday World - Lionel Shiver
Past Imperfect - Julian Fellowes
To Love, Honour, Betray - Kathy Lette
