The ATC (Attap Chee) song just hit ONE MILLION views on Instagram Reels!!!

Thank you all of the Ice Kacang lovers who made it happen.

Having considered all the pitfalls that opening a shop entails second rule is ignore them & plan to do it anyway. If you overthink it that bookshop dream isn’t going to happen. Image is Stanhope Forbes New Street Penzance. Site of my 3rd try at shop keeping.

Tip4 starting up used book shop. Location. A perfect world prime site would come into play. In Used book world it doesn’t. I had no money & a few books. Anywhere a landlord will have you is answer & incredibly cheap. That’s how I ended up in my 1st shop in Newlyn. Little footfall & small frontage.

From the Neglected Books archive: Charley Smith's Girl by Helen Bevington (1965)
Bevington's parents divorced when that was a fatal social stigma, and their sense of failure consumed them. She comes to grips with their choices & finds her own way ahead.
