Black book shops

The Watcher · (#1 (**permalink**))

Whether you live in London or Lagos name the black bookshops in your area and where they are.

Support the businesses that need us (and if you in London help me find somewhere to find some good titles)

PS

I dont mean the lil section at your local waterstones

There's one in Finsbury Park near the Station on Stroud Green Road and in Walthamstow on the High Street (market) near the Shopping Centre.

There are many websites too - just search for them.

The one in Walthamstow... the woman in there is real friendly and helpful, nice shop.

There is another in Dalston (turn left and first left after the stn) opposite ridley road market and they have a massive slection and the dude in thereknows his stuffniceone.gif

Both of them have lots ofDVDs and audio tapes from Del Jones, Farakhan etc etc

Good shops

Yep, the woman in there is friendly, for real. First time I wentin there shewas talkingabouther son and everything. She was very welcoming.

Its a contrast to see that shop next to the music store next door. A conscious black book shop juxtaposed with a black music shop blasting out stupid lyrics.Conscious/positive literature next to an outletsupporting a multi billion dollar industry used to pollute our minds and bring us down.

And then check to see which store is more packed than the other. It's sad sometimes to be honest. We need to support these bookshops.

I'll have to check the one in Dalston. Is that turn left and take another left asyou come out of the station ? It's a pity it's not on Kingsland High Road itself so thatmore people would know about it and that I would have noticed it earlier. Because that Dalston can get so packed ona Saturday.

Yeah, youcome out of the station turn left then take the first left (by a bank) and its just a short way down next to a record shop. Big selection in there.

There hasn't been one in Manchester for years.

Quote:

If you did start one up there where would you do it? Moss Side, City Centre, Old Trafford?

Quote:

There is definately a need and once the service was provided it would be utilized.

Quote:

There is a Book Shop within Workers Film Association,The Warehouse, Lucy St of Stretford Rd. (I think it comes under Old Trafford, could be Stretford!

Quote:

It isn't a Black organisation but the book shop will have a good selection of books...well it should have and it did when I built it up many years ago. Plus there are films and videos tohire/view. Try it out
