19th March 2011: It’s taken me a week to recover from the Cup
defeat…… So now on to ice-hockey and the Cardiff Devils. Two wins this weekend
and the Championship could be heading to Wales. Edinburgh here we come….
19th March 2011: Anyone coming to the shop with a copy of this message can have a 10% discount off their order!
13th March 2011: COME ON READING !! !! ! !! ! !! ! !! ! !! ! !! ! !! ! !! ! !! ! !! ! !! ! !! ! !! ! !! ! !! ! !! ! !! ! !! ! !! ! !! ! !! ! !!
13th March 2011: Apparently
Bookshops are the best way for single people to find luuurve.
13th March 2011: A rare Sunday in the shop. Why? Well, someone
phoned this morning to say they were in Kelso for the day and that they’d love
to visit the shop if we could open it from 11 – 1. Have they turned up? Answers
on a postcard….
1st March 2011: Happy St David’s Day to all fellow Welsh people!!
7th February 2011: Wow! I took the little Bookworms to Newcastle v
Arsenal on Saturday. 8 goals, warm weather, Premier League history made. An
amazing day.
*** More advanced warnings. Next week (14th
Feb onwards) is a school holiday here in the Borders so opening hours will be
erratic / unpredictable!! Please phone me first if you’re planning on coming to
the bookshop!
January 29th 2011. Advance warning that the shop will be closed next
Saturday (5th February). Also may I repeat my appeal for any
unwanted archery equipment. Carol and I completed a beginner’s course before
Christmas and have just joined a wonderful archery club so now we need to get
some equipment!!
January 28th 2011. Wow! People actually read this section!!!! I wasn’t
sure but today a couple travelled down from Galashiels and produced a copy of
my “10% off offer”!! Many thanks for coming down. I hope you
get a pleasant surprise reading this!
JANUARY 2011: Happy New Year!! Not sure where the past seven weeks
have gone!! The weather meant we were shut for most of that time but we are now
open again!!! For the rest of January, anyone reading this page can get 10% off
all orders in the shop if they quote this message when you get here. (Carol
knows nothing about this offer so it’ll be worth quoting just to see her face).
Is there anyone out there into
archery? I’m trying to get hold of a couple of recurve bows and related
accessories / equipment. If you have any you no longer want please get in
touch!!
I finally managed to dig the car out of the snow today and
get to the shop. I even cleared a path to the shop’s front door. Therefore I
should be up and running again tomorrow (Monday) for the start of the Christmas
Sale!!
Well, December was supposed to be a special “20% off
everything in the shop” sale bu the weather has been atrocious for the
past week. We’ve had over a foot of snow (see my Twitter page for a pic) and so
I haven’t been able to get to the shop to open it! If anyone near Kelso has a
4x4 and wants an hour to themselves at the shop feel free to phone me and
collect me from Kelso!!
I have decided to try and add some instant “Buy
It Now” buttons to the websites. This may take some time as adding one
button to each individual item may take years! I’m experimenting with the www.vhsheaven.co.uk
website to begin with, in particular the music videos page. After adding the first few
buttons it seems to work perfectly on Google Chrome but not on Internet
Explorer for some reason. If there are any technical experts out there who may
be able to shed some light on this problem I’d be eternally grateful!!! Also,
if you want to buy one of the videos using the “Buy It Now” option,
please try Google Chrome for the time being!!
Thanks to all the people who have recently been visiting the
shop after discovering us on Twitter!
October 10th
Mrs Bookworm is on the road to recovery. The little
Bookworms have taken over her shop (!) and it’s now looking great, with many
old children’s books and random collectables! I’ve now started two more
websites: www.vhsheaven.co.uk for lots of old videos and www.footballfanzines.com for what is possibly the world’s
biggest selection of football fanzines!
September 16th
Mrs Bookworm has been in hospital for most of the past two
weeks after a routine operation on her knee went a bit wrong!! Thanks to
everyone for their goodwill messages. Also, thanks to the person(s) who sent me
some minty rock from the West Midlands Wildlife Park.
We’re still on the lookout for more Garfield figures, chess
books and magazines, old “Roy of the Rovers”, “Scoop!” and “Shoot” comics.
August 31st
The Scottish Borders has an art trail called Crossing
Borders running this weekend from Friday to Sunday where lots of local
artists / sculptors etc show off their work. The only reason I mention this is
that next door to our shop we are fortunate to have Graeme Walker who will be
showing off his blacksmith skills. (We’re lucky enough to watch him make some
of his amazing huge commissioned pieces of work from start to finish) and we
would strongly recommend a visit!!
August 26th
Please note that the shop will be
closed tomorrow (Fri 27th).
July 30th
The holidays are here. We’ve managed
to keep the little bookworms occupied by going karting and by spending a day at
a wildlife park. Also, we have had a lovely mention in Scottish Field Magazine where we’ve been listed in the top ten
Scottish Bookshops!!!!!
Still the books pour in as well as
out!! We now have more books than ever sitting on our shelves! Please drop in!!
Just a quick note to let you know
that the books and videos on this website are a TINY sample of what is in our
shop. We have THOUSANDS of books in the shop with hundreds added to the shelves
every week!
May 2010
If you’re visiting Kelso for just a
few hours, outside our regular opening hours, we are happy to open the shop
just for you! Give us a call on 0775 1060534 or 01573 224042 to arrange.
Already, we have opened the shop for people from Ayrshire and Yorkshire who knew
they’d be passing through Kelso on a Sunday and late one evening.
We shall be open on Bank Holiday Monday from 10 – 12.30.
April 2010
Carol’s just opened her own shop next door to mine!! She is
specialising in old children’s books, small antiques and collectables and
anything else that takes her fancy. Now you can visit two shops at the same
time! Opening hours for the bookshop for April are our standard hours as below.
Carol’s shop isn’t open quite as much so phone for details if coming out
specially! However, if you are travelling to the Borders for any reason we are
happy to open the shop at other times too, even Sundays and late evenings. Feel
free to call on 01573 224042 or 0775 1060534 to make arrangements. **GARFIELD
UPDATE**** We now have lots. Thanks to everyone who has brought them in or sent
them in. Now parents can browse through the shop whilst their children see if
they can count all the Garfields hiding round the shop. A correct total gets a
prize…..
Follow us on Twitter and then get 10% off all purchases in
the shop when you come to the shop during March!! Also, weather permitting we
are now back to our regular opening hours as below.
Whilst the bad weather is here our
opening hours will not be as advertised!! If you want to make a trip to the
shop please send me an email, phone me on the mobile (0775 1060534) or send a
Tweet via Twitter for the very latest info!!

You can now buy thousands of our
books instantly by debit / credit card via our sister website at www.founditatlast.co.uk via Abebooks’ secure payment
system!!
Still not sure if anyone reads this page!! Anyway, tomorrow (Wednesday)
is our first birthday. I can’t believe we’ve had the shop for a year. So, IF
you read this page you can have a 20% discount on any purchase over £10 in the
shop tomorrow afternoon IF YOU MENTION HAVING READ THIS!!!!!!!
We shall be trying to open from 5.00 – 8.00 on Christmas Eve for you to
buy those last minute pressies. We have thousands of old and new books on many
subjects as well as thousands of fiction books. There is also a large number of
videos on many subjects so you’re sure to find something!!
I’m not sure if anyone ever reads this page so please drop me a line if
you do. Anyway, for anyone reading this today (Mon 28th) you’ll have
an exclusive. I have just written to someone famous to see if I can get a plug
for the shop and website. I doubt there is a cat in hell’s chance of a reply
from them, let alone any help, but as soon as I get a reply I’ll post it here!
AUGUST 27th 2009
Now on Twitter!! http://twitter.com/FoundItAtLast
August 25th 2009:
URGENT APPEAL: We’ve had an invasion of Garfield figures.
Accidentally (!) we’ve accumulated some wonderful Garfield cat figures which
are now breeding around the shop. We want more!!!! So far we’ve got most
of them from Ebay at a cost of 99p each!! As a guide we’ll happily pay £1 - £3
per Garfield, depending on size, age, condition, etc – the idea being that each
figure will live next to and protect its own books. We have a baseball
Garfield, a fishing Garfield, a Scottish Garfield, two swimming Garfields. Are
there any more out there?!! We could do with a snooker Garfield, a Football
Garfield, a Golfing Garfield and a musical / singing Garfield but will accept
any!! Feel free to browse the website and maybe we can do an exchange?
We now have another extra website at www.founditatlast.tel
where all our contact information is available in one place. This website is
especially ideal for anyone who uses mobile phones, blackberrys etc as
apparently it’s cheaper and easier to download the data form this page than
surfing a large website, so please add this new site to your bookmarks,
especially if you’re hiking, cycling!
**AUGUST 5th 2009. We
now have all four rooms open!! We now
have a reading room (fiction), a non-fiction room (everything from gardening to
autobiographies, cooking, reference books, history, etc), a sports room
(hundreds of old videos, books etc from angling to yachting) and a music room
with hundreds of old vocal scores, old music videos, etc. Our opening hours are
irregular whilst the children are off school so phone first before coming up to
visit. Also, please note that the items listed on the website only make up a
tiny part of our stock. We have thousands more books here in the shop… Also,
please note that tourists, cyclists, hikers, ramblers etc are very welcome to
pop in and say hello and to get a drink, look at maps, get local information,
etc.
**UPDATE July 2009. More thanks to
everyone who has travelled up to the shop, especially the people from
Australia, the USA and Cumbria!! We really appreciate the kind comments, especially
those regarding the name – the shop can be VERY
hard to find!!! Carol and I have been
busy for the past few weeks getting the upstairs open so very soon we should
have FOUR rooms of books, videos and
magazines for sale spread over two floors!!! Please note that the books and
items on this website are not actually in the shop yet! Also, none of the books
in the shop (and we have THOUSANDS!!)
are on the website. If you see something on the website which you require feel
free to phone and reserve it and collect it when you’re next passing. We now
have a dedicated telephone order hotline now on 01573 224042 where you can
order anything on the website (and remember all prices include UK P&P).
***UPDATE MAY 2009
Thanks to everyone who has visited
us and bought books, prints, jewellery etc!! We’ve worked out some regular
opening hours (see below) but can open at other times, depending on kids,
school holidays, pets, weather etc. If you are coming to Kelso and would like
to look around the shop at any other time than those below let us know and
we’ll see what we can do!! As the evenings get lighter we’ll try and open late
into the evenings too. Our “lounge” room is now looking very inviting. Hundreds
of fiction books, a lovely old rocking chair sitting in a large arch window and
a cup of tea or coffee (free of course). We now have our upstairs sale room
open with a large range of cooking, history, gardening, vocal scores,
autobiographies etc. Steve and Carol
***UPDATE MARCH 2009: We’re opening this Friday (6th
March) at 9.30 am. We’re not going to have a grand opening but will just leave
a few notes / posters around for people to notice and then we’ll see how many
people come up and visit!
***UPDATE FEB 2009
After months of hard work we’ve nearly
finished the two downstairs sales rooms! However, if you want to drop in now
for a coffee and to buy some fiction, children’s books, sport books, sport
videos, books about railways and trains or nautical books, Celtic jewellery,
some art prints or music videos then we’d love to see you!!! We’re here at the
shop every day from
***UPDATE!!! DEC 2008 It has
always been my desire to have a shop for all my stuff, especially now that my
house is overfull! A new bookshop opened just outside Kelso in 2007 but the
proprietor lived too far away to open it regularly. I recently spent three
weeks tracking him down and discovered that he had got fed up with the
bookselling business and wanted to give it all up to concentrate on his
landscape gardening business. I have therefore bought some of his stock
(including opera-related vocal scores, plays, librettos etc) and have just
taken over the shop with the intention of combining all my stock with the new
stock. Although I know nothing about opera I am learning rapidly!!
For the past couple of months,
Carol, myself and the kids have been refitting the shop and hope to get it
opened in the next month!! Watch this space!!!!.
Steve
