I was visiting Bakewell in Derbyshire on a trip which also
took in Chatsworth House, when the tour part came across this
bookshop. I had been looking for a particular book for a long
period of time because it was now out of print since 1976
(I had read this book while in my early twenties). So I browsed
around in the vain hope of coming across it, as I was browsing
the store lady was very helpful when I explained my predicament.
After I had told her the title she searched on the computer
to see if it was in-store, and after this she took my address
and telephone number and said she would search around for
it. After one week and I suppose great lengths to find just
one simple book for me, she had ordered it with a publisher
and it was posted out to me. For something had taken me 20
plus years it had all been done within a week. When I had
asked other book shops to find locate this book they always
came up with nothing. It was out of print and tough luck basically.
This reminds me of what a good thing small,independent and
personal shops are. I know only exclusively use their website
for buying all my books, I see it as returning a favor.
