‘Kill the kindle, buy a book’

A few photos from the book stall on Church Street from a few week’s ago. Spent a lot of time lurking in here on my lunch breaks when I worked in town, but apparently after decades of trading it’s finally on the way out to make way for swanky flats. The cardboard boxes here have always contained serious gold, spanning right across the spectrum of high/low culture, from rare photobooks to football highlights videos, displayed with zero snootiness and sold with a true no-nonsense manner. I’ll miss the scent of cigar smoke and damp paperbacks down here.
