I rather like 'chains' coming to East Dulwich (Lounged)

When did British through and through start and when did it end? bring back the good old days when Britain was Roman through and through and the roads were well built and nice and straight.

Really? I never found that to be the case. No I'm not "dissing" the place or looking for an argument. In my experience I have often found the staff to be a bit cold and their choice and availability of stock to be rather limited.

Quite clearly I've had a need of a different genre of book in the past... Foyles and Book Etc. often meet my requirments...

I would have to agree that Foyles and Books, etc. offer a far wider choice of books than one's local bookshop. However, for a really vast selection of books, I would also recommend Amazon.co.uk. Not only as I have said, do they offer such a fantastic selection, they also offer reduced prices. Going back to Chener Books, then, I feel that for a "local" bookshop, their supply is more than adequate, but it depends on what one is looking for.
