Barters Books

Today we went to see MrsCyclops parents who were staying in Alnwick over the festive period. We had a lovely lunch and had fun exchanging gifts, and then went for a look around the famous Barter Books, on of the UKs largest second hand book stores. It's based in the old Alnwick railway station, and has a rather fun interior as well as a huge range of books. I picked up a '70s photography manual for a bit of fun.

Barter Books is also where the famous "Keep calm and carry on" poster was rediscovered and developed a bit of a cult following lately (several blippers have blipped it). Their site has some history on the poster and on it's current popularity

We have friends coming over this evening, so I'd better be off - I hope tomorrow will be a quieter day and I can catch up with everyone elses blips!
