The shop and the book fairs have been featured very regularly on local radio,
in local newspapers, national newspapers in the UK (once!) and on various book-related websites.
Mr. Books has also been known to pay for advertisements in local newspapers, BCM magazine, local parish magazines and the Tonbridge Juddians Rugby Club's fixtures lists (old loyalties!)
