Someone earning a million £££s a year will have an extra £54,400 in their pockets. The equivalent for someone earning £25,000pa is £280. We don't see many millionaires in the bookshop so it's a good thing we have books starting at 50p (and free ones when the sun shines)

To coincide with @chesterherifest we have a collection of Chester local interest books, plus vintage maps and pamphlets, on display. Prices start from £1 and there are also rarer materials which were produced in small print runs and are now hard to find. Come and take a look 📚

A supermarket has become the first in the UK to go back to fully-staffed checkouts, axing almost all its self-service tills.

Tatty copy just gone from our free books box outside. Our free books don't represent what is inside the shop, but there are often interesting classics lurking amongst the weird stuff🧐 (Come inside if you want a better selection; prices start from 50p.)
