If anyone’s worried about problems with access due to the Grassmarket improvements, this is the view from the front door, showing the new, wider pavement, albeit with a large hole at the corner.
I’ve been assured today that progress is still being made and the hole should be looked into very soon!
These guys just dropped in to sign stock, so now I have limited signed stock of UK editions of books by:

Transreal Fiction is a shop dedicated to selling science fiction, fantasy & related books, together with a limited selection of other merchandise.But really, it’s about books. Transreal Fiction opened in April 1997. The owner, Mike Calder, first sold sf & f books many years ago and has worked in the business either part- or full-time since. For years he also had a respectable job as well, but that’s another story…
The shop is named after the term coined by Rudy Rucker to describe his fiction and I thought it an apt name for a shop specialising in speculative fiction. And, in case you’re wondering, yes, Rudy Rucker was happy to allow me to use of the term as a name for my shop.
