Your Friday Update from B For Butterfly Books: Friday 18th September 2026
WE'VE SEEN SOME BIG RELEASES THIS WEEK FROM THE LIKES OF KATE ATKINSON, RICHARD OSMAN, AND EMILY ST JOHN MANDEL…AND THERE'S PLENTY MORE TO COME!
This week's FIVER FRIDAY is a classic for everyone aged 5 to 95!
WHEN WE WERE VERY YOUNG features Piglet, Eeyore, Christopher Robin and, of course, Winnie the Pooh himself. This is the first volume of rhymes written especially for children by Milne – as popular now as when they were first written.
Originally priced at £9.99 but just £5 (plus £4 postage if required) for this weekend only.

Over the next few weeks we'll be bringing you some of the findings from our Bookshop Survey.
If you have any further feedback or comments, please feel free to get in touch.
SURVEY FINDING
Just over half of respondents that read paperbacks also regularly read hardbacks, but 80% prefer the paperback format.
DID YOU KNOW?
We stock a range of hardbacks, generally new releases or gift books / classics and feature lots of them in our weekly email and in the pre-order section of the website.
If you pre-order hardbacks through B For Butterfly Books you'll be first in line for any limited edition / signed copies / free gifts at the same RRP as a standard edition. Check out some of our current books available for pre-order at the end of the email.
You can order both paperbacks and hardbacks in person, by email or via our website. If the book you're looking for isn't listed simply use the Contact Page with the title and author and we'll get back to you once we've checked availability with the publisher.

Just a quick reminder that the shop will be closed on Tuesday and reopen on Wednesday at noon. Jon and I are heading to the Bookseller Association Conference so we'll hopefully have lots of exciting book news on our return. Last year I met lots of authors including the fabulous Ben Elton…I wonder who we'll meet this year?
Until next week…
Michelle
