We're very excited to the main bookseller for the Wimbledon Bookfest again this year and what a brilliant line-up of authors! Here are a few of the key headline authors and books that have made for a very varied and exciting programme this year. Tickets can be purchased from the Bookfest box office (telephone 020 8545 8342). Look out for the children's events, which includes a Womble storytime and sing-a-long!

Salman, Sue and Anna!

What an amazing week Wimbledon Bookfest was! We had the pleasure of bookselling at the Salman Rushdie headline event, where Salman was talking about his new book Luka and the Fire of Life.

It was a very entertaining evening and Sue and Anna were able to meet and chat with the man himself. Photo courtesy of John Stone Photography.

More photos to come...

Phew!

We are getting towards the end of a very successful Wimbledon Bookfest this week, which has seen all the members of staff at various events bookselling.

Highlights so far this week have been Antony Gormley, Michael Morpurgo, Peter Snow, Tracy Chevalier, Michelle Magorian and tonight Olly Smith and Jay Raynor!

We are very much looking forward to the return of the Wombles on the Common and the headline of the festival, Salman Rushdie on Sunday.

Photos to come!
