Canterbury today, bookshops, photographs, sketching, shopping, books, Ramsgate History, Margate History

Canterbury today, really the only place nearby where I can do the Sunday business, Michael's Bookshop in Ramsgate, where I work only being closed on Sundays and Thursdays.

I took a few photos in Canterbury here is the link to them


I was pleased to buy this classic book on one armed bandits from the Pilgrim's Hospice Bookshop in Canterbury for £8. Back in the day when I worked as a sort of mechanic I often worked in the entertainment business in the summer, fixing slot machines and other mechanical stuff. Once I have enjoyed the book I expect it sell in the bookshop for around £15. The life of a shop assistant in a secondhand bookshop works in this type of way. 


On the bookshop front this is the link to the books that went out yesterday

On the local history front, here is what you get today

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.
