I live in the UK. Can anyone tell me if there is a shop in the high street that sells high quality pics (about A4 size or more) or posters? I find it unconvenient from the internet.

Hi,

Larger Woolworths have posters, but for cards you need to try somewhere like HMV or WH Smiths (Music/video dept).

Athena are cool and you can find your local one at: http://www.athenaonline.co.uk

Alternatively, try a comic/film memorabillia shop like Forbidden Planet: http://www.forbiddenplanet.com

Online shops are really great though!

Hope this helps!

I agree with what Ian said, I was actually going recommend Athena (they do good posters).

There is an ok UK film and TV photo site that you can send a cheque or postal order as payment. http://www.moviemarket.co.uk

Hi blitzkreig, {up}

I don't really see why you need to get photos to send at all!. Save your money and just ask for a signed photo from the people you want one from.

I would suggest you use the money you save to send out a stamped self addressed envelope instead. - Don't be afraid to ask for an autographed photograph! Despite what some people tell you, all public figures have these to send to fans. A major amount of celebrity PR is done by fanmail!
