In September 2025, Left on the Shelf Books (LOTS) was acquired by Mark Thwaite.

Mark is a longstanding LOTS customer and has been collecting (and selling) radical books for over 30 years.

Dave Cope, who began LOTS back in 1992, will continue to help Mark with the business over the next few months, but Dave's main focus will be his ongoing research into the radical book trade. He's hoping to write four volumes!
