Now officially on the market - would make a great bookshop/cafe - population of this market town has grown a lot recently - it could do with a @Waterstones #Hailsham #EastSussex #property #bookshop #Wealden

Not sure what the current status of ownership is on this building which used to be a branch of Prezzo - have always thought it would make for a fantastic bookshop - the town (Hailsham) currently doesn’t have one - how about it @Waterstones ?

This is really sad news. Knights Of are exactly the kind of publisher that the children's book world needs. https://t.co/9ADEHRY5yj

I’m in the middle of reading The Vet’s Daughter by Barbara Comyns and the thought came to me that AI will never be capable of dreaming up an original voice like hers

"For children, literature and art are a kind of thought laboratory, a relatively safe space in this harsh world. The idea is to experience here and go out as a braver person." recommended thread:
어린이에게 문학은, 예술은 일종의 생각 실험실이고, 이 지독한 세계에서 상대적으로 안전한 공간이다. 여기서 겪고, 더 용감한 사람이 되어서 나가자는 것. 그래서 조심스럽게 만져 가면서 만든다. 안전하다는 것이 무해하다는 것은 아니며 예술적 경험이 남기는 상처는 달라야 하니까 숙고한다.

Pleasant morning spent at @HailshamCinema for their annual poster auction - this was taken in the interval when most of those present were at the back having tea/coffee

@Waterstones STILL on the market as of Nov 2025 - such a building should not be lying idle for so long
