No use looking for that now, though... (evil laugh)<BR/><BR/>The magazine section is very useful for those of us who work in the city. It's also just down from the new library.Hiraethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08745527476050999805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8960380041268592011.post-33344258796326170532009-03-23T21:08:00.000+00:002009-03-23T21:08:00.000+00:00This comment has been removed by the author.Evangelical bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16214459055989401079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8960380041268592011.post-8617646013713191732009-03-23T21:07:00.000+00:002009-03-23T21:07:00.000+00:00Hi Gervase,Believe it or not, I actually frequent ...Hi Gervase,<BR/><BR/>Believe it or not, I actually frequent the Wesley Owen shop in Birmingham. That is because they tend to discount the books they cannot sell - which sometimes are the books I like.<BR/><BR/>e.g. I bought Tim Wengert's Law and Gospel for £4 when its original price was £15.<BR/><BR/>Sincerely,<BR/>JensonEvangelical bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16214459055989401079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8960380041268592011.post-57577839073423813782009-03-23T19:16:00.000+00:002009-03-23T19:16:00.000+00:00Why do you think Wesley Owen is notably absent fro...Why do you think Wesley Owen is notably absent from this series? I haven't been to one for years, and haven't bought anything in one for even longer. The trouble is indeed not that they operate as commercial concerns, but that so many cater to the lowest common denominator!Highland Hosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18205436472908741409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8960380041268592011.post-934005578471142162009-03-23T15:34:00.000+00:002009-03-23T15:34:00.000+00:00The Tab bookshop is pretty unique - it doesn't hav...The Tab bookshop is pretty unique - it doesn't have to operate as other commercial bookshops do, even though it pays rent and pays its staff. Nonetheless, due to the prestige location, the reach of the mailings and so forth, it is strong enough to be selective.<BR/><BR/>I really don't have an issue with bookshops running as commercial concerns - how else can they? I only get annoyed where there is NO good stuff in them!!<BR/><BR/>Wesley Owen gets up my nose - 95% stuff I would never buy.Jonathan Hunthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12341478626195362383noreply@blogger.com
