We just wanted to wish everybody a very happy New Year and a very successful 2013, and hope you all had a great Christmas. Our first Christmas in Tideswell was lovely, and we tried to keep things as local as possible, with a turkey from NT Gibbs, fruit and veg from Peaches, Christmas presents and decorations from Parlour Blue, and a few goodies from Tideswell Stores.

We will be opening this spring - I know it has seemed liked a long wait but the shelves should be coming in over the next month or so, and then there's the long (but rather fun and very satisfying) job of getting all the books on the shelves.

And last - but not least - we hope you have enjoyed our window display from Fiona Rogers. She will be keeping our window looking good while we are getting the shop sorted, and then once it's open too. Have you worked out the theme yet?

Keep following us at the blog at www.peak-volumes.com, on Facebook and Twitter (@PeakVolumes), and in the window of the shop on Commercial Road in Tideswell.

If you are a Tideswell local - we've got an article in the latest edition of the Village Voice - you can download the January edition here.

Well, we're moved in now, and the shop at the High Peak Garden Centre is now closed. Thank you so much to all our very willing helpers, their cars, and their never-ending supplies of boxes, and thank you to Tideswell for its warm and wonderful welcome.

As you can see, we are still sorting books…

…and so far, the only things that have been shelved are the cats, Ruby and Satchmo, who are quite neatly in alphabetical order.
