I kid you not – there is bookshop of this name in East Looe. It wasn’t open when I passed by preternaturally early in the day, having been awakened at dawn or near it by BBC Cornwall wanting a one sentence answer to the simple question of how to prevent theft from bookshops.
Ian Marr in his Bookroom
Back to the absolutely splendid Anchor Lights B&B for a sunny breakfast overlooking the harbour. Perfect. On to Liskeard to visit Ian Marr – warm welcome, some very interesting books, and yet more purchases. Cheque-book now bruised, battered and bleeding, unlikely to survive the trip. Then to Charles Cox, ducks, dog, family and books at Treglasta.
Charles Cox at Work
Sterling work from Jane in finding it – not even on our map. Another friendly welcome – such a distinctive stock – and out came the cheque-book again.
Re-entered Devon intent on finding the long-delayed cream-tea.
Roger Collicott’s shop – sorry to arrive on the wrong day
And found it somewhere in the middle of Dartmoor. Perfect again and well worth the wait.
