KIRKSTALL  Leeds  West Yorkshire  LS5 3AQ
tel: 0113 278 0937  map
Open: Monday - Saturday 10.00-4.00, or by appointment.
General secondhand books, local interest and some antiquarian.
    A good, old fashioned shop with two floors of secondhand books covering a wide range of subjects, particularly non-fiction. A warm welcome from the knowledgeable owner makes this a good place for a leisurely browse. - Bridget the Browser.

The Border Bookshop
61a Halifax Road
TODMORDON  West Yorkshire  OL14 5BB
tel: 01706 814721
  map
Open: Monday & Thursday - Saturday 10.000 - 5.00 closed for lunch.
Large general stock, children's and sport.
    A sizeable, well-organised shop with a good secondhand stock spread over two floors. Bridget the Browser.
    A fair-sized shop, some new but an extensive second-hand stock including the biggest collection of Bunter books I have ever seen as well as other childrens books and annuals, plus an incredible room literally floor-to-ceiling with comics, all well organised and categorised. This as well as the general paperback and hardback fiction and non-fiction. The sports section alone takes up a full room and spreads to shelves downstairs, and there is another room leading off the main downstairs room. Prices are very reasonable and owner is friendly. - The Wanderer 15.01.09.
    A wonderful place to go. Other than Victor's eccentricity of closing for lunch the stock is one of the best especially if you are after Victoriana or sport. - Chris Harte 14.04.09.

Chevin Books
Bay Horse Court
OTLEY  West Yorkshire  LS21 1SP
tel: 01943 466599  map
Open: Thursday - Saturday 10.00 - 5.00.
Stock includes art, history, literature, military, sport and topography.
     Never seem to have in stock any books of my wide interests. - Chris Harte 14.04.09.
     Small pleasant bookshop, and, interestingly, usually has the books I'm looking for. - Don Vine 20.12.10.

Children's Bookshop

tel: 01484 658013  e-mail  map
Open: Monday - Saturday 9.00 - 5.30 Saturday 9.00 - 5.00.
A new bookshop with a small stock of secondhand children's books.
   The shop is probably the longest surviving independent specialist children's bookshop in the country. They specialise in new children's books but the secondhand section has other subjects as well. The owners Sonia and Barry Benster who are friendly and knowledgeable folk. - Pierce Roche.
    I came, I saw, I walked out without buying. It was rubbish, A few sruffy second-hand kids books, some much older and much more expensive non-fiction and that was about it, took me all of 15 minutes to see the whole of their second-hand stock. Not worth the trip from the town centre. The Wanderer. 28.01.09.

Daisy Lane
TOWNGATE  Holmfirth  West Yorkshire  HD9 1HS
tel: 01484 688409  map
Open: 7 days 10.00 - 4.00
Large general stock.
    Another top quality secondhand shop, welcoming to browsers and with plenty to offer in both fiction and non-fiction. - Bridget the Browser.
    This is one of my favourite shops, been several times over the last few years. Prices very reasonable, great stock, owners are welcoming and friendly, and I rarely leave without at least one bag of hard-to-find goodies. Set in Last Of The Summer Wine village, it is a wonderful shop just up from Sid'a Cafe, and well worth the trip. - The Wanderer, 10.05.10

Oxfam Bookshop
9/11 Otley Road  Headingley
LEEDS  West Yorkshire 
LS6 3AA
tel: 0113 2743818  map
    Spread over two shops the stock is huge and varied. Classified by subject the titles are all around the 1980-2009 decades. There is a small shelf of older material. However, I went in to purchase an item seen for sale on the internet and got taken into a locked back room which was full of century old books and more of a greater age. There were real treasures here but they were away from the public's gaze. Why? - Chris Harte 01.12.09.

  e-mail   website  map

General secondhand and a few new books. We offer a book ordering service and put on regular author events.

    Wonderful, exactly how a really good second-hand bookshop should be. The basement is neatly arranged with all books in categories, in alphabetical order, prices are very very reasonable and the owners are pleasant and welcoming. Well worth the trip. Would gladly recommend to anyone. - The Wanderer 28.04.09.
    A nice shop with general holdings. Everything arranged in an orderly fashion. Some fairly rare books in between everything else. Purchased only one title but glad I paid a visit. - Chris Harte 26.10.09.
    Pleasant owner and premises, upstairs space is wasted and it doesn't really look like a bookshop from the outside. Secondhand department is OK but slow turn round of stock, no gems, bit too much 'other stuff' but a good try. - Peter C Nicholls 20.01.10.

    The shop has recently relocated to 1 Myrtle Place - TBG 04.11.10.

111 Main Street
HAWORTH  West Yorkshire BD22 8DP
tel: 01535 640300  e-mail  map
Open: 7 days 11.00 - 5.00
Large general stock covering many subjects, especially The Brontes. Fiction and non-fiction. Also small stock of vinyl records. Located just around the corner from The Bronte Parsonage and Museum. Haworth Main Street is NOT pedestrianised.
    
This is my type of bookshop. You could feel the quality of the titles as soon as you entered from the steep hill which is Main Street. Obviously strong on Bronte and a surprisingly good number of local histories. The general holdings are worth browsing and the owner was a pleasant man with knowledge of the book trade. - Chris Harte 26.10.09.
