Fara Books will be opening soon in a vacant shop space in North Lane, opposite Teddington Essentials (near Tesco).
The used book shop will add to Fara’s two existing charity shops in Teddington – the main one next door and Fara Kids at the other end of the high street.
The books on display are collected from various nearby shops and as with all of their stock in general are all of sellable quality. There will be all the usual titles that you would find on a book shop shelf: hard/softbacks, novels, reference and also some specialist sections like philosophy.
The owners are aiming to have the shop open by Wednesday 12th August 2009.

The lovely people in Fara Books found and kept for me a used copy of The Book Thief. The service they offered was wonderful – it took perhaps 3 days for them to locate the book and call me to say it had arrived in the shop – and I will buy many more books from them. On the subject of The Book Thief itself, it’s a book filled with the heights of kindness and the depths of despair – easily the most powerful book I have read in a number of years.
