Large stock on three levels. Look hard enough in every classification for what you are seeking. - Chris Harte 14.04.09.
What antiquarian book shops used to be like! Good interesting stock at all price ranges, with some very uncommon titles I was pleased to buy. Well laid out, and organised. Open fires, knowledgable and friendly staff. Excellent! - Robert Brown (Bookdealer) 29.06.09.

In the process of reopening the shop at the side of Lime Street Station. Unfortunately they were just putting the stock out, but I couldn't get in! - Robert Brown 02.04.09.
Huge improvement on old Lime Street, shop-stock is better and easy to navigate. It has the ambience of Cecil Court. Not much for the collector but always find something. Reasonable prices. - Loyola 24.04.10.
Good atmosphere, vast selection, well worth visiting. - jduester 30.09.10.
Wonderful, great selection, first floor is open and also packed floor to ceiling, prices are really fair. - The Wanderer 16.03.11.
Superb place. Slightly shambolic, reminder of an old fashioned floor to ceiling bookshop. Condition varies, but some excellent bargains to be found. Dont miss the first floor. Also splendid classical CD s/h collections. - Norman Davies 30.07.11.

Open: Monday - Saturday 10.00 - 5. 00.
Very large general stock, and particularly fine and rare Irish interest, natural history, local history and travel.
Upstairs in the Wayfarers Arcade and it is like walking into a treasure trove. Very knowledgable assistant who knew exactly where to take me for my wants. Spent far too much but am loving my newly purchased books. Excellent quality stock. - Chris Harte 14.04.09.
Welcoming staff, clean good stock, and a easily visitable "back room" make this a top notch shop. All on one floor, and well lit. Well worth a visit. - Robert Brown (Bookdealer) 29.06.09.

This being Liverpool it is pleasantly chaotic compared with Oxfam's usual tedious corporate branding - they seem to have given up actually organising the books and just shove them on to shelves marked "new arrivals". There is a high percentage of decent books with large sections on academic topics and history. - George Marshall 15.12.09.
Definitely the most disorganised Oxfam book shop I have ever seen, books just stuffed on "new stock" or "new arrivals" shelves with no attempt at putting into categories. No time to sort them out but they still found time to overprice them I notice. Nice to see what they consider the priorities. - The Wanderer 15.03.11.

Large general book stock on three floors in a characterful building, with leaning towards the academic -- along with tropical shells, minerals, fossils, crystals, coins and prehistoric, ancient & mediaeval antiquities etc. etc. Curious? If so, see the "Virtual tour of our shop" link on our website.
Rambling old shop on several floors. Friendly helpful proprietor. Some good antiquarian stock, and a lot of interesting Victorian stock. - Robert Brown (Bookdealer) 29.06.09.
Situated on three floors there are some very interesting titles scattered about. Books are fairly well categorised but you can find the odd surprise anywhere. My visit was only half an hour which was not long enough. - Chris Harte 01.08.09.

Fairly priced general stock. Not much of interest to collectors but great if you just want to find a good read at the right price. - Loyola 24.04.10.
Absolutely delightful and tidy bookshop, moderate prices. Great selection of books on espionage - jduester 30.09.10.
