I found it to consist of a single room with a small mixed stock of very cheap books (i.e. £1 each) on a visit on 14.01.12.'
Thanks Greame. We posted a link to the Daily Telegraph article about the owner at the time of the shop's opening but couldn't find any contacted details. I'm pleased to be able to add it now. - TBG Add a comment 28.01.12 The Oxfam bookshop in Thame opened in December 2000 and has since raised more than £1m for charity within its 500 square feet of retail space ... more Add a comment More

We consider a
'shop' to be any business with a significant stock of secondhand
books, that is open regularly, without prior appointment and at
advertised times. This includes permanent units in antique markets
and weekly market stalls. Entries in the Bookshop Guide are free,
so why not take the opportunity to
add your shop now.
Perhaps the most (in)famous bookshop guide was produced by Drif and old copies continue to delight customers and enrage many in the book trade. Drif reviewed the owners as much as their shops or stock and revelled in their eccentricities.
In the spirit of Driff we invite you to review the nation's bookshops and tell us which you think are the good, the bad and the ugly.
