Centerprise Bookshop history and early book list

Found this history of Centerprise by Ken Worpole it’s a bit long winded, but the history at the start and the list of books at the end are worth a look.
Centerprise 1972 – 77

    I remember going into Centerprise Bookshop in the 70’s it was in the same place as it is now. It was quite a trendy little shop they had some great books which they produced themselves. One book that I bought from there was called ‘Tottenham Boys We Are Here’ I still have it and original copies now change hands for £100+!”
