Books
Reviews of new books, local authors and the autumn book festival.
Bought here, read here
Every book we review is on the shelves of a valley bookshop or the library the week the review runs, so you can pick it up on the way home.
On the books page
One long review, two short ones and a local author interview every week. Publishers and authors can send review copies to the office.
