This is mainly a post for Bristol area people, but some of you who visit may be interested too. Today I attended the opening of a new left wing bookstore, Hydra Books, which is a project of the Bristol Radical History Group. If you are looking for books on Socialism, Marxism, Anarchism and so on, this is the place to go. They were a bit light on Feminism today, but I’m told that’s a temporary situation and there is more stock on the way.

As with any good bookstore, they are keen to hold events. This will certainly dovetail into my involvement with the local LGBT History Group, and I shall see if I can get some SF-themed things happening too.
