About this seller
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hello. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The bookshop is in a former Primitive Methodist Chapel in the centre of Westleton, opposite the post office and backing on to the duck pond. I moved here in 1977 and have been selling books since 1982, and it has become a favourite destination for many visitors to the area. Since 1999 I have been listing a small part of my stock online, chiefly through abe. More recently, I have been helped with running the shop by my partner, Juliet, and now have a superb website at www.chapelbooks.com . ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ We welcome telephone enquiries about any of the books we have listed on abe. Try at any time - we are often here outside shop hours. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Visiting: We are open 7 days a week, 12-5 [often 11-6 in summer, and with some exceptions in winter - ring to check]. There are perhaps 15,000 books on the shelves, in all subject areas, from 50p to £100, with rarer books in reserve. We also sell vinyl (LPs). For wheelchair access, a seesaw ramp is available to help over the large threshhold step. The premises are unheated, although we are usually able to offer tea or coffee (no charge). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The turning to Westleton is about quarter of a mile north of Yoxford on the A12. Buses are rarely seen here. The nearest rail station is Darsham (3 miles). People have been known to look for us in Saxmundham: it is our post town but it is 7 miles away. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ With Aldeburgh to the south and Southwold to the north, this area is rich in a quiet and unmountainous beauty, excellent walking and cycling country. Heathland, forest, and the RSPB reserve at Minsmere are on the doorstep. The lost city of Dunwich is 3 miles away: as, at present, is the North Sea which took it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Bob Jackson ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
