Charity bookshop on King Street in [[Locale Hammersmith|Hammersmith]].

It was originally at 139b King Street <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/3649058402/ photo]</small>, but was forced to close in January 2015 due to redevelopment of the site.  In October 2015, [http://www.lbhf.gov.uk/Directory/News/More_than_a_bookshop_set_to_return_after_being_forced_to_shut_its_doors.asp Hammersmith and Fulham Council announced] that the bookshop would reopen in temporary premises at 181 King Street, until it could find a permanent home.

The new premises are much more spacious than the old, almost to the point of feeling sparsely-filled.  However, the freestanding bookshelves are well-stocked with fiction and non-fiction, with sections including reference, social sciences, natural history and other sciences, religion, cookery, travel, and foreign languages.  There's also a dedicated children's section <small>[https://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/24888632499/ photo]</small>.

Accessibility: An automatic door and a shallow ramp to get in.  There's plenty of space between the bookshelves once you're in.  The bookshelves are mostly full-height.
