It's time for Bookshop Dog of the Month! 🐕

And in September we had Amy, who was a little old lady. She made her way into the bookshop with her family in a buggy to help her get around Cambridge.

She was such a sweet rescue dog, keeping an eye on all the books and was so friendly with our booksellers. 🥰 A small, dark-coated dog with one eye is on a leash. It’s wearing a colorful harness and standing on a carpeted floor. by @cambridgebookshop

In her incredible new book 'Silent Histories', Dr Rosamund Oates places deaf people at the centre of the story, bringing us a new understanding of our past, one that is more inclusive, more surprising and far more human. 🤲

Oates uses newly discovered archival sources, including diaries, court records, wills and personal correspondence, to uncover the untold stories of deaf people in early modern England. 📝

You can pick up a copy of 'Silent Histories' in our bookshop or on our website!🔗 A wooden bookshelf contains several books. One prominent book titled "Silent Histories: Deafness in Early Modern England" by Rosamund Oates is displayed with a blue cover featuring two white handprints. by @cambridgebookshop

We're so thrilled to hear Dr Francis Young has been shortlisted for the 2026 Wolfson History Prize @wolfsonhistoryprize with his best-selling book 'Silence of the Gods'! ⭐

We're honoured that he celebrated his book launch in our bookshop last June, when he read excerpts and told the stories of the lost religions of the last pagans across Europe. He reflected on his previous books 'Magic in Merlin's Realm' and 'Twilight of the Godlings', also published by @cambridgeuniversitypress . 📚

Congratulations Francis! Everyone at the Cambridge Bookshop is rooting for you in the next stage of the #WolfsonHistoryPrize! 👏 by @cambridgebookshop
