Librarian, I've just been checking my map to see where you are. You must be near Roy Suk Mansion.

I must book in a visit when I next come into Udon. I'm a coffee lover, as well as read the odd volume.

With the computer it's useful to be able to catch up any emails whilst away from home.

So I think I've got that covered, chapter & verse.

About 30 meters past Ruy Suk (towards Nong Sim Park) but on the opposite side of the road.

Well today we did a spot of browsing at The Book House & Coffee Shop. Thanks for the directions Sean.

Jeremy has got the inside of the book shop set up and well presented, with a good range of books. Outside there are a variety of tables and seating arrangements laid out in the terrace area to utilise the shade at various times of the day. We enjoyed a cafe latte each, and the young one indulged in an iced chocolate.

Whilst I had a look at the books, GF and daughter marvelled over young Oliver, whom they wanted to take out on permanent loan!!

It looks like Jeremy has got everything covered very nicely, with fans on the way, and blackboards being put up to show the special menus. I'm sure he'll have volumes of customers.

Dan Brown _

any Dan Brown fans here ?

i have just got a hardback copy of his latest book.. the lost symbol
priced at UK 18.99 pounds .. it is quite expensive in the UK
once i have read it . it goes on the shelf for 220 baht !

i,ll reserve it to the 1st poster that says they would like a read

i wont buy new copies from my supplier till it gets printed in paperback at a much more reasonable retail price , which may take a while
