The Penny Fathing Frank Shinta North Berwick
The Penny Fathing is a fantastic Second Hand Book Shop, owned by Frank's brother Stuart Tait. I found it to have an excellent collection of books, particularly on UK history, and all books were very reasonably priced. It is the best second hand book shop I have seen anywhere in Scotland, England, Australia or Indonesia. It is located in 23 Quality St, North Berwick. email: stuartnb1@aol.com
