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.

    • Dog kennel isn't a great name for a school. I agree that it's ridiculous for the name to put anyone off going there, but don't see any issue with them rebranding if the parents and children prefer a new name. The school is surrounded by historical 'groves' (reflected in the names of Camberwell Grove, Grove park and Grove Vale for example), so it's not a totally random name. 
    • It might help if there are body cams to record evidence and a presence maybe a deterrent but I very much doubt a park warden would intervene with obnoxious and violent thugs - children or not. We need police for that.  
    • I had a leaky toilet cistern and Niko came out the same day and not only fixed the leak but thoroughly cleaned off the years of calcium build-up. His attention to detail was matched by his kind humanity. The result was a completely renovated toilet which has never worked more efficiently as well as 'service with a smile'. MANY THANKS NIKO!!!  
    • I am trying to find out about people's experiences of the 4+ and 7+ assessments. I am a teacher and have a wealth of experience tutoring for theses assessments (including my own son), but it's always good to keep on top of things as they always make tweaks to them. TIA!
