Decided to buy all Christmas gifts at Chener Books and Rye Books...


Recommended Posts

I was after examples of stock to make such a trip to a shop (regardless if local or not) worth it and curious as to why that particular shop was chosen for all gifts -i mean everyones getting a book and nothing else? Not that theres anything wrong with that its great! I was not seeking any sarky comments from the likes of mrben or belittling mzblueberry for their choice of shop tyvm

Same here!


And I also love getting a book as a present which has clearly been thoughtfully selected.

Thirded.


I'm not sure that this thread is the best place to recommend specific books, more that the shops themselves are worth a visit. They'll have a much smaller stock on the premises than an Amazon warehouse but that's the point. It's all thoughtfully curated. They've picked some highlights and some rarities of interest to most. And if thats not enough they'll order stuff in quickly.


Actually going, browsing,leafing through a nice selection of books. The smell even. I happen to like the experience.

Mate I'd fail a test of "bands I should know" miserably.


Plus I'd probably think a bunch of guys that promoted anarchism as a political ideology were a bunch of pricks that would grow up to run a VERY middle class book shop in Sydenham.

    • At the time of posting previously, we had no idea of the dates we would be having the children. The maths place - you pay for a course of lessons . The coding session would be good but you need to book well in advance. Also grandson has been doing coding since 6 years old. He now has a 'mentoring role' at his primary school as his knowledge of this subject is years above his chronological age. Dates are still up in the air as their father is trying to juggle leave from a new job in the north of the country. 
    • why not have a pasty shop - we could have Cornish pasties, Jamaican patties, empanadas from all the different regions.... I like all three.  I'm still going to support the Chacarero family business, as I don't support chains, just as I don't buy anything from Gail's, Nero, Starbucks etc.
    • Thought it had been a fish and chip shop at one time?
    • Try Gentrification, those with more money than sense who constantly want something different, when pie and mash isn't good enough for them.  "Argentinian Cornish pasties" give3 me a proper Cornish pastie any day of the week, at least I'd be supporting something traditionally British.   ps. tin hat at the ready........................🤣
