Sounds like a lot of work went into this re-organisation! I love that you have an extensive natural history section - that’s always a go-to for me. It’s also great that you have so many local-focused books (and pottery!) - here in Newfoundland anything local is always popular so it makes sense that would be the same for Framlingham!
It sounds and looks like a wonderful shop! Is Chris the same Dr Grogan who was working in the music department library at Royal Holloway in the early 1990s?
Hello again. Chris remembers you! He can’t remember your surname then. Are you happy to remind him? Isn’t that funny. Anyway he says it’s good to hear from you. 😀
Thank you! I’ve kept the same surname, so it’s still Brooks. What a funny coincidence after so many years - sparked by the photo of his book in your post!
That’s interesting, what a small world! I studied music at Royal Holloway (1990-1993) and so always used to be dashing to the library for restricted loan books! I’m sure Chris wouldn’t remember me amongst a constant stream of students, but I expect Katherine would - we went to the same school in Dover (I was in the year below her) and then we both ended up studying music at Royal Holloway, a year apart! Please give them my best wishes!

Yes indeed!! He’s been librarian elsewhere since and is now a full time bookseller. How did you know him?
