Christmas books....

It's nearly Christmas so if you're not thinking of buying a Kindle or a Sony e-book reader or a book from Amazon, and thereby, incidentally, helping to slowly but surely strangle the independent book trade, then there is a book for just about everyone in Mr. Books at 2 Bank Street. Yes it is getting a bit crowded and full but you can just about still get around and you'll have about as much choice as WH Smiths who tend to spread their's out a bit more. Let TonbridgeBlog know which books you are buying this year for people. By the way the people who live opposite my shop have just told me that they moved to this area of Tonbridge (from America) especially because they love books and wanted to live overlooking it. Aah isn't that nice!...

Well thats a good one, book lovers choosing to live with a view of a book shop. They could have chosen the library. What if they had been food or wine lovers, where in Tonbridge could they have lived? Its a good job Tonbrige does not have a Anne Summers, the price of property nearby would be through the roof!

Somewhat off topic... Big cheer for Kent County Council for failing to grit any roads last night. St Mary's Road is like the Cresta Run.

Speaking of living near a specific shop, I noticed that a new shop has opened next to Andys Pens at the start of Hadlow Road. I cant think that the local residents will be too please as its an undertakers.
