U.S. film producer supplies the magic to save occult bookshop

Opened in 1897, Watkins Books is the oldest operating esoteric bookstore in London. When it recently faced closing, American film maker, Etan Ifield, bought the business and made sure it stayed open. Many in the magic-practicing community breathed a sigh of relief, as its history goes far back entertaining guests such as Aleister Crowley and W.B. Yeats. Waktins plans on increasing the diversity of their stock and improving their online presence to ensure the survival and growth of the business. The link for the store's Web site is also included below.
