If you’re in the vicinity of Aldgate over a weekend, be sure to drop in at The Tea Rooms, opposite The Vibe Bar and next door to 146 Brick Lane, E1, as Interzone books now have a superb stall there – vintage NEL, Sphere, Everest, Biker pulp, psychedelia, beatnik and sundry Black Magic atrocities, etc. He also has a stall in Spitalfields Market, Commercial Street on Thursdays. Nice, friendly guy is Milan. Tell him you’re from Vault and/ or Paperback Fanatic as he’s well aware of both, having had me drone on and on about ’em for ages.
They’ll not be open this weekend or possibly next, but after that the times are:
Every Saturday 11am- 6pm | Every Sunday 10am-5pm
Check with Milan first at:
infoATinterzonebooks.com (as ever, replace the AT with @ – i don’t wanna be responsible for giving him spam)
You can also visit the online store
