The very excellent local Norfolk bookstore.
Excellent choice of books, fast shipment.
I especially want to highlight how high-quality packaging is - books were wrapped in an additional internal paper wrap, this is top-notch touch.
Thank you very much, Bittern Books!

Interested in the book about a detective story based in Norfolk. I have not read it yet but as I know places in Norfolk from my childhood, hence the reason for my purchase. Once read if I find the book worth reading, I intend to purchase the other novels in the series.

Satisfied customer
I have bought the Tide times for many years as I enjoy sea swimming. I noticed the other titles and decided to send for the maps as they are so small and easier to pop in your pocket than a full OS map.
I ordered them online and was pleasantly surprised at the speed with which my order was dealt with and I received them a few days later.
I was pleased with my purchase and they represent excellent value for money.
