Since our store opened we have welcomed a host of authors, celebrities and artists for a variety of events. Below are some highlights from the past few months. Details of forthcoming events can be found on our Events page.

  David Peace Raises A Laugh

  Celia In Her Fortress Of Books

  Borders Dundee has had a large presence at the Literary Festival every year since we've been open and this year we were on hand again to provide all of the books, friendly advice and tireless assistance. Celia, Inventory Specialist at the store, relishes working in a room with windows: she is usually a stranger to daylight, toiling away each day in our sort room, sorting the deliveries of new books.

  Pauline McLynn Signing

  Pauline McLynn, here showing great self-control not to react to being asked, "Would you not sign my book... ah go on. Sign my book, go on. Ah go on. Go on. Go on go on go on go-on go-on go-on go-on go-on go-on go-on go-on. Go-on go-on go-on go-on go-on... etc.", for about the hundredth time that day.
