This first one is Margate Hospital, I would guess 1950s or early 60s.

Here at Michael's Bookshop in Ramsgate I am still working my way through Kent local history books, This involves checking their condition is OK and checking the prices are comparative with similar copies of the same books on the internet. Today has been the books about Deal, Sandwich, Walmer and Dover. Since I last did this before Covid, prices haven't changed significantly, a few have gone down in price, very little has gone up. The most noticeable thing about online secondhand book prices is much larger gaps both between the highest and the lowest and also between the different online sites, predominantly Amazon and Ebay.
We are still very busy, about 100 books sold and about another 150 books priced and put out for sale in the bookshop today.
This is the link to the photos of the books we put out 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.
