Dear All, John Kennedy?s family are now very pleased to confirm that, as announced earlier in the year, Chener Books will be continuing to trade under new ownership from Saturday 20th October 2018. We are very grateful to the new owner to have been able to complete this transition and carry out John?s wishes of keeping this local institution going on into the future. John?s family have been sincerely touched by the kind messages of condolence from recent and long-standing customers and wish to thank everyone for their messages of support and sharing their stories and memories of John. Similar to something John might have said about local history, just because something is written down or published doesn?t mean it happened as someone said, or when they claimed it did. There will be a banner up in the shop as evidence to confirm this milestone at our 40th year, so please feel free to pop in during the week to see for yourselves, say hello and congratulate the new owner. We wish her many years of successful bookselling. John?s family (via the younger John Kennedy)
