Dambusters, Bastards and Boneheads and a Rogue Tooth Fairy

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.

On a side note, we'd like to apologise to anybody who may have emailed us recently and been ignored!

This was not on purpose, but it would seem that our email server's latest version of SpamAssassin has been a little overzealous (not our fault) and badly configured, (ok, probably a little our fault) it was silently dropping a lot of emails, mostly from paradise.net and hotmail.com.

If this sounds like it may have happened to an email you have sent us, please try again, as David our trusty genius I.T. guru in residence has now fixed it!
