Borders have gone into Administration and are having a pre-Christmas/buy-out/closure sale and all Ordnance Survey maps , all series and scale , are half price with most books 20% off cover price and others more . May be worth a visit if you have a local store ?
I called into the one in Charing X Rd yesterday. It felt rather like a jumble sale but it was sobering to think that most of the books which they were selling at 20% off, you can acquire via Amazon at -30%/40%......
Still sad to see the shop go - for many years it's been the best magazine/periodical shop in London.

Ditto for Bristol. Until a year ago there was also a reasonable magazine shop half-a-mile from my home, until it closed.
Often visit a friend in Ulverston. There was a magazine shop there called Greatorex, which had a huge selection. Did a rough count one day - they had around twenty mags alone devoted to angling. RAF News, Navy News etc - it closed last year.
Is this the demise of a large percentage of our magazines?

The boom seems to be in Genaeology and Celebrity rags. My wife like the former and even my daughters are sick of the latter.
