Book Shop Visit 2: Fully Booked

Fully Booked in Thornbury was the second bookstore I visited while searching for secondhand James Bond novels last December.

The store is owned by Tadhg and Rallou and has been operating for 22 years. !   There appears to be high stock turnover, probably because the book prices are so reasonable, and there's always Bond books on the shelves.

The husband and wife team are super friendly, and very enthusiastic about books and their store.  It's definitely a really nice place to visit.

While I was scouring the "SciFi" section at the rear of the store I overheard a conversation at the front counter between the owners and a customer from New South Wales.  She said to them that "this book store is a real treasure trove", and that's the perfect way to describe this store.

Not a Bond novel but I often confuse it on the shelf with John Gardner's "Role Of Honour".

Open Tuesday to Saturday, this store is definitely worth a visit.  And it's only a short distance from Howard Bolton Bookseller in Northcote which is also open Saturdays.
