The Bookshop Guide - the only guide to the UK's secondhand and antiquarian bookshops. Add a Bookshop

14.05.08. A second-hand bookshop in my High Street said that it could not buy some old books from me, but that it would take them off my hands for nothing to stop me giving them to a nearby charity shop that is killing the bookseller's custom by being able to acquire books at no cost.
    What price on preserving the fast-fading commercial life of our high streets, versus the odd mosquito net here or there?

13.05.08. Richard discovered that Catmax Books in Diss had closed towards the end of last year. Stephen Besley, who ran the shop for a couple of years, has now amalgamated its stock with his father's, at Besleys Books in Suffolk. On a brighter note, Richard also found a bookshop we had missed, Church Street Books, in the same town.

We consider a 'shop' to be any business with a significant stock of 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.
