    I think it's called bookmaster. Went in today, I don't think Khans books has anything to worry about.

    It's a real shame a better tenant couldn't be found for that space.

    Disappointing, very limited range of stock just chucked on the shelves. :(

    I don't think it's a bad shop...it is what it is, I guess if you want "serious" bookstores you have Khans, Dubray, Bookcentre and Stonehouse here already so this geared at the value end of the market which is fine.

    Not really impressed with the place when I went in.

    To be honest I was hoping that the long rumoured Toys R' Us would go in there.

    And apparently it was rubbish too, much dearer than Ken Blacks.

    Thanks guys. I had a feeling the deal fell through once it went quiet.
