Thanks DM, I used to live in London , but l live in Cambridge now. I'd rather give my money to my own rather than amazon. I swear I walked the whole market and couldnt find the book shop! I also asked people and they didnt know about it either. The only one l saw on the market was a discount book store and a Muslim one at the very top of the marketconfused2

Here's 2 additional places that have nice black book selections (London)



1)

GROUNDING 020 8800 2727 231 High Road Tottenham

A former 'Atlantan' owns this store in Seven Sisters Market area. His retail selectionranges from afrocentric books to positive Black History CD's and DVDs.

Michael Sansculotte-Manager Director



2) A DARKER SHADE 079 4921 1122 42 Chatsworth Road

email : a_darkershade@yahoo.co.uk

This place is VERY new on the scene (my 'spiritual' blood brother runs this one).Their book selection includes cultural and 'pop' cultural topics. They also take requests for books that people are looking for and have them shipped in.








You dont have to be UGLY to be strong!!

... news I recently learned from a good friend ...

Ladels has opened in Detroit, Michigan (USA), with a full-service selection for children.

For more information, see Children's Book Boutique

I'm told that on-line sales may be soon to come.

Thanks for the book store updates. Is anyone aware of an association of Black book store operators from which one can receive referrals or related information?

RV we don't have one.Back in the day there was talk about that lead by some of the big players in this area such as Headstart, Grassroots Books Store when these guys were leading the selling and distribution of books and reading material..But to be honest we have gone backward because this is one area where we should have had major or significant size retailer in every large conurbation.. I mean the demand is obvious both direct to the public and institutions..

But its all very fragmented now and reflective of the general trend in our organisations and associations be they business or elsewhere.
