Eton Antique Bookshop
88 High Street
ETON Berkshire SL4 6AF map
tel: 01753 855534
Having made a special lengthy journey to the shop after two telephone conversations with the owner, who had assured me that he "had loads" of the titles I was seeking, I arrived to find that I had been seriously misled. I did see some quality books on the shelves but my annoyance was such that I spent little time having a detailed look. - Chris Harte 09.02.10.
A Samuel Beckett Special which will make me have nightmares. There are a few interesting books but 99% of the stock is dross. Eton deserves better. - OWC 22.09.12.

Other than being a splendid place to find trinkets and the like the upstairs bookshop part is excellent. It is many a while since I spent time in going twice around the shelves of a dealer's offerings. There was a very varied stock with some antiquarian gems in places you would not expect to find them. Well worth calling in if you are passing. As noted above the ground floor sports section is also first rate. - Chris Harte 31.08.10.
Agreed above. There are goodies if you are prepared to confront the rather hectic filing system. Also has excellent postcard unit and decent cafe. - Norman Davies 14.08.12.
Hungerford has lots to offer and is worth visiting, which I do regularly, particularly for the Arcade which has plenty of good books on a variety of subjects. - OWC 22.09.12.

We have a small but rapidly expanding stock of modern first edition hardbacks, including several Signed by the Author. We also have a small stock of general second hand books. Inspirations is a Gift Shop in the heart of Sunninghill village. Our books are located in our first floor showroom.
Small selection of fairly run of the mill very modern first editions General books uninteresting and over priced not really worth a visit. - John F Bacon 03.12.07.

Owners Keith and Anne Precious have been open for many years. The best secondhand bookshop in Berkshire. John Bacon 19.07.11.
Old fashioned shop. I loved it, smallish but good range, decent prices. Note shop is hidden away in a corner through garden centre and past an antiques centre. - Norman Davies 14.08.12.
I am keen to support such valiant efforts and tried desperately to leave with something even resorting to looking at postcards but bought a few cat collars instead. The fried breakfasts in the café seemed very popular. - OWC 22.09.12.
Oxfam Bookshop

Very good quality books but the prices appear totally unrealistic. Quite a difference compared with a similar shop in nearby Henley, wont be going back. - JF Bacon 18.07.12.

Hundreds of good quality secondhand books downstairs, including a wide range of history, art and biography. Paperback fiction to pick up also. Old and new titles available. Run by a friendly husband and wife team with 20 years bookselling experience between them.
The ground floor is new books, with second-hand in the basement. Stock a little limited. - Clive Cheeseman 15.08.07.
New upstairs, second hand in musty basement. Don't agree above - fairly extensive collection if a little pricey. Well worth a visit taking in Hungerford Arcade nearly next door. - Norman Davies 14.08.12.
The new books upstairs are ever so tempting unlike the dull and dreary small selection of secondhand books downstairs. - OWC 22.09.12.
