A well organised shop with an interesting stock that is well worth a visit. Some of the prices are a bit on the optimistic side, reflecting the fact that a lot of the stock is geared up for book fairs, but there is a good variety as well as interesting vinyl. - Nicholas Pendower 18.09.12.
Decent solid shop with a good range of titles. - Jake Kirkwood 22.03.13.

Oxfam Bookshop
276 Glossop Road
SHEFFIELD South Yorkshire S10 2HS map
tel: 0114 2494918
Misleading address as Glossop Rd becomes West Street in the middle of what everyone calls West Street, i.e. ask for directions to the latter. Small shop with some collectibles and fiction at front, with academic, sci fi and non-fiction plus CDs, vinyl and DVDs at rear. Stock reflects local university student donations. Rare and Racy a stones throw away. - S+S 08.04.13.

Probably the city's largest Oxfam so book dept relative in size. Always has collectibles well displayed; strong on history, English Literature subjects, fiction but carries something of everything including music books. Combine with visits to Help the Aged bookshop and the Record Collector at other end of Broomhill high street then have coffee at Remo's. - S+S 06.04.13.

Open: Monday - Saturday 10.00 - 6.00.
Large general secondhand stock and Yorkshire and Derbyshire topography. Also watercolours, maps and prints of local interest. Sheffield's largest secondhand bookshop.
When I asked what they were selling nowadays, Alan's reply was "same as we've been selling for the past thirty-five years". Hang in there. - TBG.
The best of the Sheffield bookshops, with a very interesting stock. Prices are very fair and there is lots to browse, including a good music section. - Nicholas Pendower 18.09.12.
The music can de distracting, as the owners have fairly obscure tastes! However, don't let that put you off, this is a proper old style shop with excellent stock. Do take a bag with you though, as they only seem to provide paper ones. - Jake Kirkwood 22.03.13.
Interesting shop. Prices mostly reasonable. Harsh jazz. Well worth a visit. - Steve Brissle 06.04.13.

A compact range of good-quality books with an emphasis on art, photography and design, philosophy, poetry, film, travel and topography, history and fiction, including Modern First Editions. Also hosting In Arcadia: two gallery walls of photographic prints, pictures, cards, vintage and handmade books. Seeking artists to develop a PaperArts and BookArts specialism.
Small and a bit book fairy for my taste, more of interest to the collector than the reader. - Jake Kirkwood 22.03.13.
The Porter Bookshop
227 Sharrow Vale Road
SHEFFIELD South Yorkshire S11 8ZE map
tel: 0114 266 7762
A good quality stock leaning towards the academic and including the humanities, literature and philosophy.
The epitome of a good secondhand shop with tottering piles of newly purchased stock at every turn and many "deeply stocked" subject areas such as history, art books, cinema, psychology and literature. The manager plays good music, and Sheffield's best fish'n'chip shop, Two Steps, is close by. - S+S 18.07.11.
While not a large shop, it's well worth the trip out to Sharrow Vale Road, where parking is quite convenient. The stock is of very good quality and there are some unusual titles. - Nicholas Pendower 01.11.12.
Brilliant shop for the fiction reader. Stock is extensive, fairly priced and contains recent and interesting titles. The SF is particularly good. - Jake Kirkwood 22.03.13.
