"When I write, I don't aim to shock people, and I'm surprised when I do. But I don't think that anything that occurs in life should be omitted from art, though the artist should present it in a fashion that is artistic and not ugly. I set out to tell the truth. And sometimes the truth is shocking."

The staff are always very helpful, especially Peter and Robert in the amateur rights licensing department.

I paid the new shop a visit today and I love it! Very nice setting, very well adapted to a bookshop. A good atmosphere and great coffee! (We didn't do coffee in the old shop in the days when I worked there ... shame.)

Great plays and great service for producers. Over the phone assistance was really good.
