Hello
Apologies if there is an existing thread - I did a quick search but couldn't find anything.
I've been advised from a reliable source that the majority of the Ian Allen bookstores are to be closed by the end of February 2015. Whilst the branch near Waterloo Station in London is to be retained, those at Cardiff, Birmingham & Manchester are due to close.
I for one will miss these stores, but I expect that in the internet age with the likes of Amazon, they've struggled to remain profitable?
Finally, the existing stock will be sold off at reduced prices on the run up to closure so now may be a good time to get to one of the shops & pick up a bargain..!!
