Moos Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 I must admit, it took me a over year of living near here to go in as I thought it was a comic book shop. But it is indeed a proper bookshop, and I think very good.

Ted Max Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Chener is a portal to lost worlds. The keeper of the gate only allows you to see what he wants you to see.

PeckhamRose Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Answer to number four: the market forces mean they're wanted. When people stop going, they'll close up.Answer to number one: probably they're taking too much time clearing up after the little ones.Answer to number two: don't care. Complain to management. No point asking us!Answer to number three: We don't need more chains here. Cheners is fab.

Moos Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 I have been beaten up by several forumites on this point, and can confirm through my broken teeth and split lip that the northern end is the bottom. Can also confirm that I'm very sorry and won't do it again.

citizenED Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Perhaps if Dukesdenver goes in more frequently to purchase full-price tomes from Chener the place will be able to un-mank itself.
