THE Once Read Bookshop in Crediton says it has been honoured by the recently passed Sue Read, to receive her book collection.

Between now and Christmas, Once Read will be selling a number of Sue's local books, which can be viewed in the bookshop window.

Jim Thatcher said: “When we reach a figure of £150, I will present Yeoford School with one of the shops big cheques, as a testament to Sue Read for her lifelong kindness and generosity.

“Many of these books are becoming difficult to source these days. Thank you Sue.”

Jim also has a table at front of shop with an offering of free books and items for those finding the cost of Christmas difficult this year.
