I've been visiting Recklinghausen Bahnhofbuchhandlung since 1979.
Many things have changed in the Ruhr town since then but the train station book shop hasn't.
Still the same calm emporium of books and magazines it always was.
Today I spotted a kid cinema MOTU comic with a free sword. I was swordly tempted but at €5.99 I left it.
There are hundreds of magazines including a huge trains rack.
Do you still buy magazines?
Just testing if this works...
ReplyDeleteYa! Hello again Ed - great to hear from you! Bill
DeleteWell, well, well....thought it was time to see if Moonbase would accept my posts again and lo and behold, seems like it does! Hello to Woodsy, Bill and all!
ReplyDeleteHello again Ed! Welcome back!
DeleteHi Woodster old friend! Great to be back! I was watching Jason And The Argonauts and remembered a book I had as a kid and also remembered that the book got a mention on here so I looked on the search thing and found what I was looking for...so wanted to see the front cover again! Anyway, while I was looking at it I thought I'd try a post and hey presto, it bloody worked! :) It's nice to be back!
DeleteFantastic to have you back on board Ed! Remember, it's in the trees!
DeleteWhat's a magazine? I seem to remember such a thing in the distant past but my memory fails.
ReplyDeleteHa ha! So dear now!

ReplyDeleteThe only magazine we get regularly now (since the demise of Cinefex) is the Fortean Times. Gotta keep up with Hunt Emerson's cartoons, Simulacra Corner, The Conspirasphere and all things Cryptid, great and small!
ReplyDeleteOnly read one a couple of times Looey. Interesting stuff. Reminds me of the haunted Seventies coneyely.
DeleteConeyely? It should say Completely.
DeleteCinefex gone ?!
ReplyDeleteBut then you can only drone on about CGI for so long, I suppose, before it just becomes utterly boring.
Yes, about half a dozen a month, including Diecast Collector. Well down on what it was in years past - but so many of the magazines have disappeared, and many shops no longer carry them at all. Just like DVDs. So sad.
ReplyDeleteAre you still writing for any magazines Paul?
