A book shop is set to close after 31 years of trading.

The Bookmark in Rainham Shopping Centre has served book lovers in Medway.

It sells quality second-hand books, with large selections of sci-fi, fantasy, history and military books.

It also sells prints and a range of collectables.

The shop is expected to close by March 25.

In a Facebook post, its owners wrote: "Closing down after 31 years of trading, sadly.

"Thanking all our customers. Last chance for you to buy nice, clean, curated and quality books from us.

"We will trade only up to March 25 at best (might close before that). So do not postpone – pop in and buy books! Thank you."

There is a sale and customers who spend more than £40 are being offered 25% off.

Tracey Hales commented under the post saying: "I'm so sad to see this, have been coming in my whole life and fell in love with books in there, a love I passed onto my own children and I loved bringing them in during school holidays."

Becky Jane Russell also commented, saying: "I can’t believe you’re closing. I’ve always loved popping in and picking up some good books over the years. You will all be sadly missed."

Gary Foord said: "Sorry to hear you're closing down, it's always a shame when a long standing shop has to do that. I've bought many books there over the last 20 years."
