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... :-) )

	Mat.
	*:o)

>	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.

        According to someone on SF-LOVERS, the Forever People store is
    located at 59 Park Street in Bristol, telephone (0272) 25454.  They 
    add that FP has a good selection of SF books, comics, magazines, etc.

   England, which covers Science Fiction & Fantasy produced from the
   United Kingdom.

   Despite the recent apathy regarding SF in the UK from some
   broadcasting quarters, there has been a surprising number of
   successes too, both now and from the past.

   This list is dedicated to the Science Fiction and Fantasy that the UK
   has given us!  There are many gems from many years, quite a few of
   which are being repeated even now!

   Some SF shows that could be discussed are: Blakes Seven, Hitch-Hikers
   Guide To The Galaxy, Star Cops, Sapphire And Steel, Thunderbirds,
   Captain Scarlet, The Tomorrow People, Space 1999, Survivors, Adam
   Adamant, The Prisoner, Day Of The Triffids, ...

   Please note that there are two lists already for Dr Who (drwho-l) and
   Red Dwarf (reddwarf), both available from this list server.

   For further details contact the owner.
