Ah, that’s better.
Black Friday was definitely a bit too much for everyone. The long queues, endless swiping of credit cards and eager eyes looking out for a bargain were enough to exhaust even the keenest of shoppers.
But fear not, there is an antidote to the madness – Civilised Saturday.
The day, which is supported by The Booksellers Association, is intended to be a ‘restorative to Black Friday’.
This translates to cocktails and cakes, crustless sandwiches and cups of tea, and of course, books.
