THE WADSWORTHS CALL IT A DAY
Pic left by Bradley Ambrose for Taranaki Newspapers shows Margaret, Kate and Paul Wadsworth who will farewell their bookshop next month after 31 years as booksellers in New Plymouth.
Bookman Beattie wishes Margaret & Paul, (who still look the same as when he first met them all those years ago, except for the colour of their hair!), all the very best for a long and happy and healthy retirement. Best wishes for the future to Kate who has ably managed the business for the past five years and a very warm welcome to the new owners, (who are sensibly retaining the Wadsworth name), Julia and Paul Phillips.
