Kew Bookshop expands!

SHEEN BOOKSHOP OPENS

On a lingering visit to the Kew Book Shop this morning, I learnt that Mark and Isla have expanded their empire. A couple of weeks ago they reopened BookStop in Sheen as the Sheen Book Shop, in the style of the Kew and Barnes shops. This is excellent news for residents of SW14 and users of Waitrose (just opposite) as it's a really good size and will, I'm sure, be run in the knowledgable and personal style we have become used to in Kew. We have suggested to Mark that this now means that they are a chain ....... he was horrified! A good quality local bookshop is a real asset to any neighbourhood so I wish them much success.  For readers in Sheen, please visit and click here to see my earlier entry which extols the virtues of this great local business: http://kewgreenbooks.blogspot.com/2011/04/local-bookshops.html
