"Rachael spent a lot of the morning pricing the new items ready for the Americana/Western theme coming up next week. If you wanted to be a cowboy, then you could rustle up a dandy rootin' tootin' outfit. Haha! Lots of cowboy boots that look really great.
There was a really great donation today. A suitcase and a basketful of stuff! Going to have a good rummage in the suitcase - it's packed!
In the basket there was lots of beautiful Japanese/Chinese trinkets which sparked the idea for a Japanese theme...
Anthony says 'hi!' "

OXFAM EXCLUSIVE!
ARCTIC MONKEYS RELEASE NEW SINGLE THROUGH NOTTINGHAM OXFAM SHOPS
The Oxfam shops in Nottingham will be part of a music industry first, as Arctic Monkeys release their new single, ‘Crying Lightning’, through Oxfam’s network of 700 charity shops, with proceeds going to help the charity’s lifesaving work around the world.
The limited-edition 7”, which is the first single from new album Humbug, features a cover of the Nick Cave classic ‘Red Right Hand’ as a B-side, and goes on sale in the Goose Gate boutique and the Market Street Oxfam shop on Monday 17 August. The release marks the first time Oxfam shops have sold a new release single for 25 years.
The ‘Crying Lightning’ 7” will cost £2.99, and each single will come with a download code allowing fans to get an MP3 version of the songs for free.
More than 600 Oxfam shops, including the Market Street books and music shop, sell second-hand music – double the total number of independent record shops in the UK.
Domino and Arctic Monkeys are also calling on music fans from Nottingham to bring in any unwanted albums or singles to either the Market Street or Goose Gate shop when they pick up their copy of the single, to help Oxfam keep turning yesterday’s hits into vital funds for years to come.

Paul Régmacq- volunteer at Market Street
Hello everyone! This blog entry is courtesy of Paul from the Books and Music Shop.
"I'm eighteen and French. I've arrived in Nottingham without any idea of what Oxfam is and what a charity shop is. Searching some opportunities to do voluntary work I have known Oxfam. And I have found that the creator of Oxfam had a great idea because on one hand, Oxfam permits to help
poorest countries and the other hand Oxfam selling second-hand books permits to all people to buy cheap books. Finally, when you give your books to Oxfam you make more than one person happy!"
