While My Guitar Gently Weeps and Plucky Deeds & Unspeakable Beastliness

What's New at Arty Bees Books.
This is the spot to check out every week, as we bring you the latest on the fabulous, weird, interesting, intriguing, and wonderful books, big or small, mostly square-ish - although not always - that have come into the Arty Bees shops over the past seven days or so.

The Annual Arty Bees’ HARDBACK FICTION SALE is currently on.

Bargains galore!! - see below.
Almost all Hardback Fiction at one third off normal prices, and half off purchases of 3 books or more (this sale spans across both of our branches).

This is from the following sections: General Fiction, Modern Literature, Detective, Science Fiction and Fantasy, Old Novels, Horror and Historical Fiction. Our hardbacks or trade paperbacks (soft-cover but hardcover size) are generally priced from $16 - $22, so if you do the math on that you can get novels for as little as $8. It’s a great opportunity to collect some nice editions of your favourite books or try out some new ones

And we still have some of the beautiful Taschen History of Fashion books.

Religious books were a highlight this week with Jesus - A Revolutionary Biography - A Startling Account of What we Can Know About the Life of Jesus by John Dominic Crossan.
Did you (for example) know he liked tacos, walking on the beach at sunset (with the wind gently tossing his boyish locks), kittens and brown paper packages tied up with string. These were a few of his favourite things... his not so favourite things tended to get smitted. Read this exciting tome and others like: Everything must change - Jesus, Global Crises, and a Revolution of Hope by Brian D McLaren, Radhasoami Readlity - The Logic of a Modern Faith by Mark Juergensmeyer, Jesus - A Question of Identity by J L Houlden, No God but God - The Origins, Evolution and Future of Islam by Reza Aslan and The Historical Figure of Jesus by E P Sanders.
(Note to self re grammar... to smite, smote (past tense), smitten (the smitee, although these days it pretty only applies romantically))

Random titles from the coal face...
