14 Eastcheap
LETCHWORTH Hertfordshire SG6 3DE map
tel: 01462 684631
Open: Monday - Saturday 8.00 - 7.00 & Sunday 11.00 - 5.00.
A new bookshop with a large general stock of secondhand and some antiquarian books.
A long established cheap shop with a good turnover and frequent sales. Very likeable staff. One of my very favourite shops for 24 years. - M.G. Conor.
I have now made three recent visits to this shop and each time I find treasures hidden away. The two floors are mainly secondhand but it is upstairs where the good stuff is to be found. Pricing on the low side. If visiting take time for a decent search. - Chris Harte 13.10.09.
I've been visiting this shop regularly since 1985 (so M.G.Conor and I must have started going there almost simultaneously) and can only confirm the praise heaped on it by earlier reviewers. I always find good things there. It's also attached to an independent record shop with plenty of secondhand CDs etc. Letchworth hasn't got much to recommend it - the early garden city houses are very fine if you like that sort of thing, but David's is the jewel in the crown of the town. - David Gouldstone 30.10.09. Friendly, long-established shop with continually renewed general stock, frequent sales, huge cheap tables outside, interesting new and remaindered book sections, attached music shop, and a real community purpose. - conormg 27.01.11.

Eric T. Moore Books was established in 1965 and sells secondhand, rare and antiquarian books, maps and prints. Housed in two converted cottages, the shop contains approximately 35,000 books.
This shop needs a good three hours of searching as there is so much good material around. The owner was knowledgable which helped a lot as I put a number of queries to him. Car parking spaces at the side of shop as it is situated by a roundabout. A visit is recommended. - Chris Harte 13.10.09.
I've been visiting this shop since (I think) 1982. As already stated, its stock is very large, covering all imaginable subjects, new mass market paperbacks to arcane antiquarian. Fair prices, friendly staff. I can't recommend this shop highly enough. - David Gouldstone 30.10.09

Open: Monday - Saturday 9.30 - 4.30.
We are a charity book shop stocking all types of fiction and non-fiction. Profits from this shop go to fund the nursing teams of the Iain Rennie Hospice at Home.
Bookshop has moved onto the High Street. Although this probably benefits the shop in terms of passing trade (Church Yard was somewhat out of the way) I find the new shop to be less spacious. Worth a look if you are in Tring but not worth a special journey. - Pondcott 22.03.11.

Secondhand and antiquarian books, maps, prints and greetings cards. A recently opened bookshop in the historic coaching town of Buntingford. Book search service available.
One smallish room, so not a vast stock and nothing outstandingly exciting, but good condition and very reasonably priced; probably some bargains to be found. Owner extremely affable. Worth a visit if you're in the area. - David Gouldstone 18.08.09.
As previously stated just one room full of books. Very general subjects with a few antiquarian. However, even in a peaceful village there was a rampant traffic warden so park carefully. - Chris Harte 13.10.09.
Not impressed, message left with member of staff offering books for possible sale. Telephone call not returned. - Robert Butler 30.03.12.
