Recommended bookstores-South East England

[amadeus]

Greetings!

I'm heading next week for south east England, Lewes East Sussex and will be working there for 2.5 weeks. It's a long time since I visited the UK and I was kind of hoping for some advice regarding the bookstores in the area. I would be very pleased if I could find some of David's books somewhere in the area, could be difficult huh? All "second hand" and "esoteric" bookstores would also be great. I'm not ruling out a day trip to London, so if you know great bookstores there please let me know.

Thanks for any advice.

And oh yes, just a liiiittle advertisement of the production I'm participating in: http://www.paddockproductions.org.uk/music_workinprogress.html
So if you like opera - welcome to see our show! :)

p.s. I've been lately very busy traveling because of my work and haven't have the time to read all the great posts you guys posted. I'm looking forward to read all of it in a month or so - the moon hoax thread will certainly be something I'll participate in :D

For Icke books, any highstreet book store like Waterstones and Blackwells (better than Waterstones for Icke) in gay old Brighton will stock them.

I disagree. I'd give these corporate feudal lords a wide birth and support small, independant booksellers. This is my favorite bookshop, but I know it's a long way from home for you:

You disagree with what? I only mentioned shops that stock Icke books.

Sorry, I'll rephrase:

I recomend using small, privately-owned booksellers rather than the big multinationals. This keeps local community businesses alive rather than increasing the power of corporate giants. If they ever choose to pull the plug on David's work then it will be the local sellers who will be the only place they'll continue to be available.

Amadeus, if you get chance,
I would recommend you go to Hay on Wye,
A small town on the English/Welsh border,
Its full of independant bookshops,
and is a unique place,
World famous for literature
and eccentricity.
I guarantee you will not be dissapointed.

Hey, Hagbard, I've been here- http://www.innerbookshop.com/- too.

I live near Birmingham but have made a few trips down to Oxford just to visit that bookshop ( one of the finest independent stores IMHO: a literal treasure trove of the written word, particularly in respect to subjects such as those discussed on this site). Could, and have, spent hours there just browsing and always have come away with something of interest ( have found books there that I have been looking for for years). Also friendly and helpful staff.

Hi amadeus

Hope the production is going well :)

I've heard Watkins in London is a good one, although I haven't been there yet, but definitely worth checking out I reckon...

They're great, aren't they! The guy who runs it, Anthony, is a friend I met on the Iraq war demo in London.

The shop is bigger than it looks from the outside. It goes back a long way and has a basement.
