The Publisher
![]() Having spent 10 happy years at the Bookshop at the Tinners’ Rabbit in Ulverston, I have retired to Dent to concentrate on local publishing. It was quite a wrench to leave Ulverston, it’s such a lively literary place; however, where better to move than close to Sedbergh, a place with a growing reputation as a book town. |
