Homely bookstore |
97 High Street Birmingham B17 9NJ United Kingdom +44 121 427 9343 |
Faced with stiff competition from high street chains able to offer huge discounts on bestsellers, and with W H Smith just down the road, it's a wonder places like Hooper's manage to survive. But the world is a better place for it, and although you won't find many bargains here you will get that personal touch. You are guaranteed help when you need it and if you do purchase something you'll leave with the knowledge that you've helped a local business. This is a good place to look for mainstream and local history books. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Cupboard of delights |
2-4 Lonsdale Road Birmingham B17 9RA United Kingdom |
This fantastic little deli is hidden away in a side street, next door to an organic fruit and veg place and an excellent butcher's. It's only small, but sells an enviable range of cheeses—many organic and most quite rare—as well as hams, fresh bread, preserves, wines, pastries and the eponymous pickles. Everything is deliciously tasty and certainly worth the little extra you'll have to pay. Review © 2007, Wcities |
