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

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

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.
