How lovely to enter a good old-fashioned bookshop and be greeted with a smile and a welcome from an owner who knew his stock. Many different sections some of which contained numerous rare titles. The books on local and regional history covered all parts of the country and were wonderful to browse. I found my new treasures in the basement. A visit is recommended. - Chris Harte 17.08.10.

HEREFORD Herefordshire HR4 9AR map
tel: 01432 279527
Can't comment as it was 'closed for staff training 9.30-12.30' on the Friday morning we were in Hereford. - Alastair Palmer 29.06.09.
Typical Oxfam. Overpriced, boring, and the little quality stuff priced by an optimist with an Abe Books fixation, not realising that they are still for sale on ABE at those prices because nobody wants them at those prices. - The Wanderer. 30.10.09.
Miserable stock, eye-watering prices, weirdly conceited staff. A truly dismal experience. - The Dikler 30.11.10.
STOP PRESS: Opening hours are becoming erratic due to 'staff shortages', but at least the prices are holding up: a 1926 copy of Fowler's Modern English Usage without the dj? £25.00. Hurry, hurry! - 1torygloom 16.03.11.
Pleased to say that this time when bringing in 3 large boxes of books for donation, I was greeted by a very pleasant & polite middle-aged gentleman who was very grateful for them. On the previous occasion(at least a year ago) when donating a box of books, they were sniffed at for not being good enough. Not eveyone donates first editions of rare books. Well done Oxfam for getting rid of the arrogant staff! - La Boheme 12.05.11.

A traditional second-hand and antiquarian bookshop with something for everyone, we hope. Our '£3 and under' room is particularly popular! We also have a large stock of books on art, antiques and collecting and a good range of Folio Society editions.
Under new ownership - now run by Chris & Carole Lowndes, late of the Chichester Bookshop. - TBG 01.10.08.
The picture perfect old fashioned bookshop for a country market town - the cobbled lane, old oak shop front, the handpainted gilded sign, the bell on the door. And it has good and wide ranging stock with reasonable prices to boot. Well worth a detour - George Marshall 16.09.09.
The stock on the shelves was not quite what I had expected to find. This is not a criticism as I found lots of good material but the build-up to my initial visit had been one of anticipation as others had told me of an antiquarian heaven. Having said that, what I did purchase was most acceptable. - Chris Harte 31.12.09.
I cannot recommend this shop highly enough - clean and tidy, well organised, clearly labelled shelves, good quality stock at extremely fair prices. Better than anything I've found in Hay. WHL - 06.06.11.
The best general stock I've seen anywhere, and all so neatly arranged. Prices below average. They have a fabulous bargain room as well. - Waverley 19.04.12.

20,000 secondhand books on all subjects.
A bit jumbled but there are treasures to be found if you look hard enough. - Chris Harte 01.04.09.
I can?t think what one would call this place...it?s a teashop, a pub, a hotel and bookshop all piled on top of each other. It is extremely eccentric and rambling, and there are indeed a large number of books here piled up all over the place and stuffed into an annexe. Worth a visit for the sheer oddness of it. - George Marshall 23.09.10.

I specialise in modern first editions but I also have a growing stock of general fiction and non fiction in most areas, as well as poetry. A lot of my stock is older and scarcer than what one might expect to encounter in a shop selling newer books. I also maintain an active selling presence on the internet.
