ACTION FOR HODDESDON

NEW RANGE OF DVDS AND CDS

Hundreds of new DVDs for adults & children have now available in both our shops starting at the bargain price of £3.99. We have a wide selection of titles which include world cinema, Art House movies, black and white silent comedies, Hollywood Classics, TV and movie adaptations of novels by Dickens, Shakespeare, and Roald Dahl plus non fiction titles covering World War II battles, Railways, Fitness and Angling. We can also order specific tiles for customers which take about a week to arrive.

In Hoddesdon we have a very eclectic range of discount music CDs starting from £2.99 covering everything from 1940s Big Band sounds, marching band numbers plus Doris Day and Ella Fitzgerald classics to compilations from Boyzone, 10CC and Gabrielle. We’ve also introduced a range of Naxos Classical CDs at £5.99 which complement the 200 Naxos Classical CDs stocked in Hertford – and we can also order over a thousand titles from their catalogue.

MORE GREETINGS CARDS IN HERTFORD

We’ve just added a new display area at the back of our Hertford shop so that we can expand our range of Greeting Cards in response to demand from our customers there. As well as giving us the chance to add new sets of distinctive and humorous cards by small independent card companies and individual artists and photographers, for the first time we are also introducing a selection of cards to mark occasions such as weddings, anniversaries, moving home, etc. Do please drop in and see our new stock.

2008 MEET THE AUTHOR BEATS ALL PREVIOUS RECORDS

This was the last in the year’s season of thirteen events held in seven venues across East Herts which notched up a total audience of nearly 3500 over 12 months. The 2008 line-up included seven sell-out events featuring actor Martin Clunes, actress Sheila Hancock, legendary cook Delia Smith and international best-selling novelist Frederick Forsyth. Other authors included Orange Prize Winner Rose Tremain; footballing legend and veteran commentator Bob Wilson; historian and producer of hit TV series World War Two Behind Closed Doors, Laurence Rees; broadcaster and journalist Jenni Murray; and Rosemary Hill giving a lecture on the great Victorian architect Pugin in a chapel which he built in 1851.

NEW 2009 OPENING HOURS

Please note that from 1st January 2009 onwards both the Hertford and Hoddesdon shops will now be closed ALL DAY on THURSDAYS. 

BOOK PARTIES

Last autumn we successfully launched our first book parties – where our customers solved their book buying problems whilst enjoying a pleasant social event with their friends and neighbours.  Along the same lines as Tupperware, Jewellery or Make-up parties operate, we will bring along a special selection of new books chosen from the thousands of the new titles for you and your guests to browse, plus some great bargain books at 50% or more discount. Books are ordered by guests at the end of the evening and delivered a week later for distribution by the party host who gets a cheque for 10% of the overall total at their event to keep for themselves, or to help raise money for a school, church or charity. Whether it suits you best to invite people for morning coffee, afternoon tea or an drinks evening we can bring three different selections of books: adult titles, children’s books or a family range with some of each.
