New St Peters Broadstairs book published: St Peters and the Forgotten Ranelagh Pleasure Gardens, and a ramble from the bookshop.

With Christmas coming I am trying to get the various new local books I have in the pipeline published in reasonable time for people who want to buy them as Christmas gifts.

In the last ten days I have published one on Broadstairs shipbuilding, two large format Ramsgate Tunnels maps and this new one about, : St Peters and the Forgotten Ranelagh Pleasure Gardens, should be out on Monday.

I will do a post reviewing the new book in the next few days once I have had time to read it. In the meantime here is the link to the buy it now thingy if you can’t wait http://www.michaelsbookshop.com/catalogue/st_peters_and_the_forgotten_ranelagh_pleasure_gardens.htm 

I have also bought an industrial guillotine so I can get a more professional presentation, so this new one should have a printed spine and cut edges.


Having a printed spine is much easier on the bookshelf as you can see form the picture, this was taken in my study and not the shop so the books in the photo are not for sale and I don’t know which of these titles we have for sale in the shop.

Whether I will get around to reformatting the other 155 other titles so they can be guillotined I don’t know.

On the local news front one of the broken down planes is being broken up for scrap metal on the Manston Airport site.

Sir Roger Gale is to open the new Poundstretcher in Margate.

So frankly not really anything unexpected in the news.



Flat Eric has got a bit obsessed about screwing and has been looking around the bookshop for tool books, he has managed to find one where they don’t call a screwdriver a screwdriver, I haven’t even dared to consider what they would call a spade.

    plan for a new coach terminal at Port Ramsgate.

    Or is it an attempt to get a cheap lease from TDC?

    Strange one this anon, they did pretty much the same story about a year ago, I thin they may have reprinted it by mistake.

Please note comments that may be libellous, comments that may be construed as offensive, anonymous derogatory comments about real people, comments baiting internet trolls, comments saying that an anonymous comment was made by a named real person, boring comments and spam comments, comments in CAPs will be deleted. Playground stuff like calling real people by their time stamp or surname alone, referring to groups as gangs, old duffers and so on will result in deletion. Comment quoting what people have said elsewhere on the internet must contain details of where and when the quotation is. Comment that may be construed as offensive to minority groups is not allowed here either, so think before you write it, remember that the internet is a public place, that it is very difficult to be truly anonymous and that everyone who uses it leaves a trail of some sort. Also note the facility to leave anonymous comment will be turned of during periods when I am unable to monitor comment, this will not affect people commenting who are signed on to their blogger accounts. When things are particularly difficult on the commercial spam front I may turn comment moderation on for periods.

If you feel that someone has left a comment that is offensive and directed at you personally please email me (link on the sidebar) asking to have it removed, you will need to tell which post and the date and timestamp of the offending comment. Please do not reply to the offending comment as I will assume you continuing the dialogue as meaning that you want the comments left there.
