Something that most secondhand bookshops have traditionally had is a section of very cheap books, in these days when people seem to have forgotten the meaning of very cheap and many are now extremely hard up ours sometimes produces unusual reactions.
All the hardbacks in ours are 10p and all the paperbacks 5p each click here so see the pictures of it today
One of the more amusing bookselling incidents this week was pricing a copy of Flemish Drawings at Windsor Castle and noticing someone had crossed out the bookplate of Orson Wells (very tasteful copper plate Orson Wells on hand made paper) and written in a scrawl happy Christmas from Owen.

Comments, since I started writing this blog in 2007 the way the internet works has changed a lot, comments and dialogue here were once viable in an open and anonymous sense. Now if you comment here I will only allow the comment if it seems to make sense and be related to what the post is about. I link the majority of my posts to the main local Facebook groups and to my Facebook account, “Michael Child” I guess the main Ramsgate Facebook group is We Love Ramsgate. For the most part the comments and dialogue related to the posts here goes on there. As for the rest of it, well this blog handles images better than Facebook, which is why I don’t post directly to my Facebook account, although if I take a lot of photos I am so lazy that I paste them directly from my camera card to my bookshop website and put a link on this blog.
