Oxfam Is A Bully

Posted at 7:22AM Thursday 11 Feb 2010

the Booksellers Association and the bookshops in one particular corner or London are up in arms against Oxfam too - only specifically against their bookshops which are spreading faster than Tesco once did. These people are, unsurprisingly, concerned that small bookshops and antiquarian booksellers are being bullied by Oxfam Bookshops and their aggressive expansion. Because Oxfam Bookshops are big business. They are now reportedly the third biggest bookseller in the country, which is a surprise.
