Off With His Head!

"I think if you took all the bookshops away tomorrow, Hay would still do quite well”
Jim Saunders, Local author and halfwit.

Hay functions for 365 days a year – it is one of the most visited places in Wales. This is not because of people like Jim Saunders, resident of that well-known hub Knighton. It is due to the unique vision of Richard Booth and the hard work and dedication of the booksellers and other individual shop keepers that Hay is a completely magical experience, unlike Knighton.
If you agree that Jim Saunders should be asked to retract his statement please come in and sign our decree – otherwise OFF WITH HIS HEAD.

LONG LIVE KING RICHARD!
LONG LIVE PRINCE DEREK!
LONG LIVE HAY-ON-WYE, TOWN OF BOOKS!
Jim Saunders must retract his absurd statement about our town of books.

Seen in the window of Addyman Annexe - they were onto their second sheet of the petition when I went in.
