Tonbridge Through Ten Centuries frenzy!...
Okay, maybe frenzy is a bit of an exaggeration but the take up of this superb new history book on the town, Tonbridge Through Ten Centuries, has been quite amazing. To date my little bookshop has sold over 120 copies in just over a week which, in local book sales terms is like the new Apple i-pad air launch! Some people have been ordering 3 or 4 copies to give as family presents. The Tonbridge Historical Society has done a great job in compiling this comprehensive history of our town from the Anglo Saxons onwards, right through to post war and modern day. In fact my favourite chapter is the first one which goes even further back than that. Albeit in brief, it covers the previous ten thousand years. So I for one am looking forward to the sequel: Tonbridge Through Ten Millennia! Better start working on that one now guys! To buy a copy come to Mr. Books at 142 High Street or, if you're a long way from your spiritual Tonbridge home you can order one on the phone or online. It's only £9.50 which is massively under priced. It would still have been excellent value at £15 in my humble opinion....

Looks like an interesting book, so I will have to buy a copy at some stage. Is it available in electronic form?
BTW, TB, I thought you’d gone into permanent hibernation, but it seems like there’s still life in the old hack yet!
Of course it's not coming out in electronic format! Just get down to the shop and buy a copy in the traditional manner. As for hacking please don't mention that word. I never did it, honest guv!
Yes Tonbridgeblog has been a little quiet of late. Too busy selling the new Tonbridge book! Plus us creative types have to the right inspiration. Then it all comes flooding out....
It’s true what you say about waiting for inspiration, TB, but there’s not much that inspires in Tonbridge at the moment.
