What's New

Last Chance to See, Villains of all Nations and a very Merry Christmas to All!

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 Arty Bees over the past seven days or so.

News at Arty Bees Books

But first we have a few public announcements...

This will be the last What's New for a few weeks - with Christmas bearing down on us it's time to take a break as things do tend to get a tad crazy in retail in the next couple of weeks to say the least...

But rest assured that we will still be pricing and shelving new books - even with a buying moratorium in progress we won't run out of stock - in fact if we are a bit slack, we won't even clear the backlog!

However, if you are hanging out, for the hot news on the latest in goodies hitting the shelves at Arty Bees, it does mean that you will have to revert to the old fashioned methods of coming on by and having a look. Or of course you could drop us an email if you have a specific request.

In the mean time Arty Bees wishes you joyful and safe Seasons Greetings

It's true - We have resisted the retail urge to stay open till the wee hours on Christmas Eve.

That's because we think we have such great books and helpful fabulous staff, that if we can't help you find the perfect gift before 6pm on Christmas Eve then it might be time to get a dreaded "Gift Voucher" (Hey! we have those too!) and go home for a nice glass of beer before the crazy.
Which is exactly what we plan to do.

And don't forget...

We're on our Annual Christmas Buying Holiday.

We will not be purchasing stock from
Friday 11th DECEMBER
and will not start purchasing stock again until
Monday 11th JANUARY

We regret any inconvenience this may cause - as usual we are still taking small exchanges and credits to shop cards.
