Carl Barat at the Big Green Bookshop on September 30th 

We recently announced that Libertines front man Carl Barat will be appearing at the bookshop to play an exclusive acoustic set and read from his autobiography the Threepenny Memoir on Thursday September 30th. Unsurprisingly the tickets sold out almost immediately. 
For those of you who have missed out, we're very sorry. 
As sometimes happens however, there may be some cancellations, so tickets may become available again. If you'd like to get on a list for these possible cancellations, and also to secure a signed copy of Carl's book, you pre-order the Threepenny Memoir here .
We can't guarantee you a ticket, but at the very least you'll be able to have a signed copy of the book which we'll post to you Free of Charge (in the UK)
We are working hard to make sure that as many people can come along to this as is comfortable and if we could fit more people in then we really would. 
 
  Welcome to The Big Green Bookshop, the award winning bookshop based in Wood Green, North London. We’re situated just off the High Road, a couple of minutes walk from Turnpike Lane tube station, on Brampton Park Road (an oasis of calm in the metropolitan madness).

We stock a great and varied range of books, which we individually hand pick for our customers, as well as stocking a wide selection of cards, bookmarks and other essentials. If you can’t decide what to get (the choice is sometimes too much), we sell our own vouchers too.

We have book groups for adults and children, which is open to everyone, and we also hold a staggering number of author signings and events for all ages. From Maisy Mouse to burlesque dancers, music legends and literary superstars, you can keep up with all the shenanigans on the website, or by signing up for our newsletter, just over there ------>

If we don’t have the book you’re looking for we can usually get it in within 48 hours, and you can now order online too, and we offer free delivery in the UK for orders over £5. You’ll also find special offers, signed books and all manner of delights here, so it’s definitely worth checking back every so often.

If the book you want is no longer available, we have an Out of Print Booksearch Service, which is totally free.
Details can be found here.

There’s so much more to tell you, but we’ll let you have a look around for yourself. Have fun and come and say hello next time you’re in the area. There’s usually a pot of coffee on the go, and we have a very comfy sofa.

We have a brilliant offer on the latest title by Gallic.

Hector and the Search for Happiness by Francois Lelord is a wonderful tale which follows a young psychiatrist as he sets of around the world to find what really makes people happy.
