Locals! I'll be selling comics here alongside some of Brighton's brightest. (Out-of-towners, you're are very welcome too!)

There’s also a community table if you’d like to sell your wares - bring them in the morning and collect books/money by 5.15pm. The Open Market is very accessible, covered but open at both ends (so *mostly* open), and has lots of lovely cafes.

I'll be here too. Hope to see you all there!

The fundraiser has raised £21k towards the £25k target. This will cover immediate costs but also go towards securing the longevity of the bookshops. #Booksellingisnotacrime #booksky Fundraiser details here - www.gofundme.com/f/jerusalems-educational-bookshop-emergency-appeal
