They have an outlet in Ossy Mills too, the last time I bought a book there I had to take it back - there were pages missing!

Re: another one bits the dust
At the moment they are trying to sell the business but have taken the decison in the interim to close 85 stores. Can't find a list of the 85 though.

Re: another one bits the dust
Personally i think its a shame.
I bought a lot of books from there,very good prices,never had a problem with anything i bought there,it was a great place to buy gifts.

Re: another one bits the dust
Does no one else find it ironic that teh cheap book shop that finally nailed the coffin lid on the best bookshop Accy ever had(Wardleworths) has fallen by the wayside? Karma at its best IMHO

Re: another one bits the dust
Im going to have to stock up on acrylic paint from there then. It was handy that shop especially after wardleworths shut down. I didnt get many books from there it was more craft stuff that i got from there.
