Q 5 where in Thanet
Until very recently Margate had 3 secondhand bookshops, Tiverton Books and Hooked on books have both closed and the area devoted to books in The Old Bank Bookshop has been reduced to make way for selling pictures. That said I find it worth visiting about every six weeks, we managed to spend £130 in there today which puts it in the above average bracket.
It's run by Pilgrims Hospices, staffed by volunteers, has a friendly laid back atmosphere and is worth a visit.
The staff said the had been pretty quiet recently, I don't know whether that;s a reflection on off season Margate, parking outside, only one space available at £2.30 per hour would suggest some winte activity in Margate.
We drove there around the coast so some phone photos
Back to work in our bookshop here in Ramsgate tomorrow where I am still adding to the amount of book shelving

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.
