Autumn’s big hitters
Selected by the Bookshop
Like periodical cicadas, big books don’t come out in dribs and drabs throughout the year but instead all emerge at once, in early October, culminating in so-called ‘Super Thursday’ – a day marked with both joy and sorrow in the Bookshop, joy that the rowdy titles are finally on our tables; sorrow that we have to book in about 200 boxes all at once. Have a browse of some of 2024’s big hitters here.
