Brian Phillips reports in from Foxton



Passed through Foxton on Monday and saw that Ace Books on the main road is for sale. Nice wee bookshop with a good reputation locally and a fine record of sales on Trade Me. Owner Bob Ayson, who started in the book trade with Collins Publishers back in the early 80s and commenced bookselling in his native Shannon before relocating to Foxton, has decided to retire. He has a loyal local clintele and of course a huge amount of passing traffic.
Be a nice venture for a booklover. He told me what he is seeking as a price and it seems very fair and reasonable to me. See link below [with fotos even]

We need to keep the nation's second-hand booksellers alive!
