Earth: Over 4 Billion Years in the Making is an extraordinary masterpiece that takes readers on a breathtaking journey through the intricate history of our planet, narrated by the renowned voices of Andrew Cohen and Chris Packham.

This stunning full-color book, designed to accompany the acclaimed five-part BBC TV series, unfolds the epic tale of Earth's evolution from its fiery beginnings to the complex tapestry of life we see today.

  • The violent bombardments from space that shaped our planet's surface
  • Extreme climate shifts that transformed ecosystems
  • Dramatic collisions of continents that redefined geography
  • The evolution of life, culminating in the emergence of intelligent beings

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.

This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.

We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.

Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
