| Did "Dark They were and Golden eyed" (hell of a name for a store...
hate to answer the phone there) never re-open ???
DTWAGE closed a few years back (when I lived in London) but there
were rumors that it would come back one day.. did it ever make it??

| Dillons - Oxford
The Paperback Shop - Oxford
Both of these have a reasonable selection on F/SF. The Paperback
Shop also has FRPG stuff, comics and the like.
Oxford also has a comic shop (on the Cowley Road), but I can't remeber
the name.

re .1:
Any idea where it might be? How big was it? This wouldn't have
been in the 1970s would it? (The name of the shop inspires images
of people who may have been overindulgent on the substance known
as lysergic acid diethylamide... :-) )

| > Any idea where it might be?
Well is _was_ in Soho (not SoHo ;-) just up from the Marque
It was just down from the Blue Posts pub... then it closed for a
while and then re-opened (by the Marque club)
How big was it?
two 1/2 floors, comics down stairs... books on ground level and
records on the 1/5 level.... very good selection of comics
and books (lots of 'rare' volumes)
> (The name of the shop inspires images
The name is from a Ray Bradbury story... but it was that sort of place
Like I said it closed some time back but it did that before and then
re-opened

It was in St. Anne's Court, which was a alley with Wardour St.
on one side... Had lots of atmosphere... Didn't the guy who
opened Forbidden Planet used to work there?
Regards.
Reggie.

Yep I remember the one at St.Annes Court. It was never as good
as the previous shop in Berwick St, just by the market.
Does anyone know if the Compendium book shops still exist in
Camden Town ?
Also for you occult freaks there was a great bookshop in
Museum Street, just opposite the British Museum.
