East Dulwich: An Illustrated Alphabetical Guide

[David Mc]

There was some previous discussion on and interest in this out-of-print book (by John Beasley) here in the past (I can't make search work, so can't cross-link to the appropriate thread/s)!

John tells me that the book (a slightly new edition) is now available again from Chener Books (14 Lordship Lane) at the bargain price of ?3.50 (it was more expensive when it was previously available)!

In celebration of their 30th anniversary, the shop arranged to have the book reprinted. It should be available until the end of the year.

Hi Dave, what was the name of the book again?

[David Mc]

Er: East Dulwich: An Illustrated Alphabetical Guide!!

David

[AcedOut]

Is it alphabetical!?

[jonsuissy]

Does it have any pictures?

[Ladygooner]

Is it a Guide?

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

I'm pretty sure Brownies are on another thread.

[karter]

are there not extracts of the book in SE22 magazine?

[andypandy]

How big is the print? Is the ending any good? Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.......

[Keef]

Why is everyone taking the p!ss out of interest?

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

I think it's a follow-on from the other thread about the bookstall. But in this one, we are happily keeping the book at the top of the page.

[Keef]

Fair enough, must start reading threads.

I have the original version of the book and karter is correct - excerpts appear in SE22 magazine but there are many more pictures in the book

This here SE22 magazine, what's that about? etc etc

Moving on from that it's the first I've heard of such a magazine. Where does one get that from?

[David Mc]

I think you have to live in SE22! I live in SE15 and get one called - wait for it - SE15. It's a bit rubbish (full of ads and mostly useless articles) but it to has similar excerpts about the origin of street names in SE15 - also by John!

[karter]

One gets one through the letterbox or from one of the estate agents or coffee shops.

[ruffers]

Ah, one will have to pop into an estate agent then. One does live in SE22 but one's Living South has stopped being delivered also and one is feeling a tad alienated from the community. And a bit short of reading matter.

I don't know about anyone else but I'll be barging all and sundry (especially the bloody sundry) out of my way tomorrow to get to Chener Books for this. I'll hurl the money at the book wizard of Cheners and probably leave a tip, what's more.

Can't blooming wait. Well done Cheners, well done John Beasley.
