Grand Clearance Sale

Wandered past the Bookshop on the Pavement yesterday, doing my shopping while pushing Islay in her trolley - and stopped, and looked at the signs in the window, and dumped shopping and dog back home, and came back.
A "£2 or less Stock Clearance Sale" was on, and the shop was packed. There were quite a few familiar faces stacking up the bargains, too. Of course, the best books had already gone, but there were still plenty of interesting books left on the rapidly emptying shelves. I picked up a bumper book of Mexican cooking, and a Best-Ever Jewish Cooking book (stretching my culinary expertise), a couple of thrillers by Faye Kellerman, whose detective is an Orthodox Jew in Los Angeles, and a book on paper collage art for when I'm feeling artistic.
Of course, this means that the shop will be closing as a bookshop soon.
It will be interesting to see what takes its place.
