	New Year Sale GOOD NEWS! WE'VE REVIVED THE NEW YEAR SALE! Since we haven't really HAD a Summer to speak of, we've decided to reprise the successful NEW YEAR SALE and run it again until 30 SEPTEMBER 2011 Stock up on summer reading - see below:- Not another price rise! NO! Beat the Blues with New Year Bundles! January is always a dismal time of the year, the bills arrive for Christmas and the weather is usually foul, and we’ve been trying to think of ways to brighten it up for you, especially as we’re all being urged to tighten our belts these days, do more with less, and that things are all going to cost more in future, etc., etc. So, we have put our heads together and come up with what we consider is the antidote to the January “blues”, our New Year “Bundles” Sale! We’ve looked at our list, and we’ve tried to work out combinations of books, with connected subject matter, that would suit particular types of customers. Then we got out the trusty pocket calculator, to see if we could do anything on the collective price of such a “bundle” to reward our loyal customer base with some extra-special offers. And, surprisingly, we have found that we CAN!

(Click to Enlarge)	The Nine Quines ISBN 978-1-872438-84-9 (2011) 6.87" x 4.25", 165pp., pbk., £6.99 A group of archaeologists gathers in the shadow of a precious and unique national monument, The Nine Quines, a group of standing stones on a peninsula in a remote Scottish sea-loch, their University having been given permission to carry out a dig which would not normally be allowed at such a sensitive site, on the condition that the dig is also part of a re-enactment project, foisted on them by their University’s marketing department, and destined to be filmed in real-time by a TV company intent on marketing the result world-wide, and sharing the profits. Dakin, the grizzled, jowly head of department, spends more time these days wielding a spreadsheet than a trowel, in his attempt to balance the ever-diminising educational grants and budgets. However, his work as a consultant on popular TV archaeology programmes has bought him a seat at the table. Parker, the specialist on ancient industrial technologies, harbours a not-so-secret passion for Jenny, the expert on Neolithic agriculture, not that she notices, or at least, not that she acknowledges; finally, the eponymous Waterlow, the boyish marine biologist, seems determined to continue treating the exercise like a public school outing. Into this volatile mix comes the enigmatic Dr Peter Glasson, of Emmaus College Cambridge, who has been allowed to tag onto the project in order to carry out extremely accurate measurement of the stones and their surrounding area, using new, as-yet-untested equipment. But Glasson is not all he seems, and, as events unfold, his behaviour threatens to plunge the whole project into chaos and mystery. Meanwhile, the brooding presence of the stones looms darkly over the events of that spring and summer… Harry Fenwick is married and divides his time between Scotland, which he describes as his “spiritual home”, the North of England, where he actually lives, and Cambridge, where he has family connections. This is his first novel. Price: £6.99 Quantity:
