LOASP Publications

When we published our first pamphlets some years ago we founded Loaf On A Stick press.

We have since published a couple of books and a few pamphlets and are very fortunate that these have been received very well. The pamphlets are available as free downloads or by postal order. Our books are available from various local (book) shops, including:

Five Leaves Bookshop (Nottingham)

The Bookcase (Lowdham)

The Sparrows’ Nest

Or by postal order (just email us), all prices plus £1.75 P&P.
