Another where in Ramsgate photo? This time I have the answer
I have been working on a leaflet giving details of the
bookshops in and around Canterbury to leave in Canterbury tourist information
office and my task today was to ask every bookshop in Canterbury and make sure
their details, shop name, phone number, opening hours were correct.
I think it fair to say they all had issues. Here is the list
and if you know of any other bookshops in Canterbury please let me know.

I find it interesting that businesses that are household
names have considerable difficulties updating their website and that the
current information about bookshops being given out by the tourist information
office is out of date.
Certainly it’s surprising that Canterbury is supporting so
many bookshops, next it’s the bookshops going clockwise around the coast from
Faversham to Folkestone and once again it’s surprising how many there are.
My bookshop 72 King Street CT11 8NY 01843 589500 9.30 to 5.30 Mon, Tue, Wed, Fri and Sat 130
bookcases (secondhand mostly general), has been busy again today, hwew is the

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.
