Ramsgate 1966 Guide

 At the end of a busy day as a shop assistant here at Michael's Bookshop in Ramsgate what you get is a few pages from one of the local books we publish.









We are closed until Wednesday and looking forward to the break as it has been so busy. Too busy to do the buy it now button for the 1966 guide so if you want it at the moment you will have to come to the bookshop.

I have been working on our military book section today, taking every book off the shelves and checking the price against the books online to make sure we are competitive. 

Having previously just done the English Topography and local history sections I am coming to the conclusion that there hasn't been much in the way of inflation in secondhand non-fiction book prices in the UK during the last four years. Overall I have been reducing prices on about 25% of the books on the shelves. We put a date code on when we price so it's a pretty good indicator.

    I think that the sailing ship on the front cover is the New Endeavour, captained by captain Keeble,who later brought the Black Opal to Ramsgate

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.
