Got a book you’re ready to pass on? 📚

Drop it off at Altogether Otherwise or pop it straight into our Book Swap library outside Sadler's Cat in Sadler’s Yard.

And while you’re passing through the yard, have a browse. You might just find your next read waiting for you.

In the latest issue of our zine, we explore niksen, the Dutch philosophy of doing nothing on purpose. When was the last time you sat back and let yourself do just that?
