Hi all,
I'm currently trying to come up with a list of current UK and Ireland games shops (or at least shops that might sell games) and found it to be surprisingly hard.
Firstly, Yellow Pages online is no good, because it doesn't distinguish between games shops and computer games shops. And the secondly, while there are various lists on the net, they're depressingly out of date (depressingly because it shows how many games shops have gone to the wall). But after a lot of phoning, and a lot of automated voices telling me "this number is not in use", and a lot surfing I've managed to came up with a list of 49 shops that are still around and hopefully still doing roleplaying stuff.
But I suspect there's more, and I was hoping you guys could point me at them. (If you want to know why, it's because I'm sending free samples of my book to as many shops in the UK as I can find).
Below is the list of shops that I sent to. If your FLGS isn't on the list (it's in alphabetical order, so it will be easy to spot), I'd be grateful if you can give me its details. Just comment here. Also, if I've managed to get one on there that no longer exists or no longer stocks gaming stuff, again, please let me know. Thanks!
Note:- At the moment I'm only looking for shops in the UK and Ireland, with the possible exception of big shops in mainland Europe that order through Esdevium Games.
