Re: [GO] Query about Suffolk bookshops
That's interesting, Sue - I know the shop you mean in Southwold, having been there camping (Southwold, not the shop!) a few times, but I've never found anything remotely interesting, GO-wise, there. But it's obviously still worth visiting whenever I can Pam K - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 10, 2004 9:45 PM Subject: Re: [GO] Query about Suffolk bookshops There's a village called Westleton which has a huge second hand bookshop, with a good pub opposite.

[GO] Query about Suffolk bookshops
Kate said "...but will be getting around to such places as Sudbury, Lavenham and Bury St. Edmonds also. I've never been to any of these places, so can anyone tell me if there are any interesting bookshops..." I was in B-S-E about 3 years ago, and there was one bookshop there - I can't remember exactly where, but it's not a huge place, and it was in the town centre. Nothing special in the way of GO books, but, hey, a 2nd hand bookshop's always worth a look. Sorry to be so vague, but it was a while ago.

[GO] Query about Suffolk bookshops
Another challenge for the Collective Wisdom of GO... As our school is closed on Friday this week for an Ethnic Holiday (good old Diwali!) I am having a long weekend in Suffolk with my husband. We are going to stay in Bures, but will be getting around to such places as Sudbury, Lavenham and Bury St. Edmonds also. I've never been to any of these places, so can anyone tell me if there are any interesting bookshops or places of interest in children's lit. to which I should be making a pilgrimage? I'm sure I can persuade my other half to do a few detours! I have just been re-reading "Brat Farrar" which seems to be full of names pinched from Suffolk - they go to the Bures Show, and looking at the roadmap, it seems that even Clare is a real village with a Clare Castle! So I will be doing a little Josephine Tey pilgrimage anyway.
