Open: Monday - Saturday 12.00 - 4.00.
General secondhand stock but particularly topography and natural
history.
Essentially a market stall. - Gerald
Baker.
This is a market stall, but when I went
there I went there on a Wednesday afternoon (7 Oct) the shutters
were down and it looked as if it were closed. - jduster 15.10.09.
Fun to rummage and spotted some good review
copies. Books have no prices so you have to ask. When I offered
a fiver, the ownwer said he would give me five! Enough said. - Ken
Bogle 30.09.10.
Seems to be more often closed than open,
but I managed to find it open on Wednesday afternoon (was closed
on 28.9. but open 29.9. around the same time). Not well sorted,
but good bargains - mainly a one pound per book shop. - Joachim
Duester 05.10.10.

Open: 7 days untill 4.00. map
Literally thousands of books, every kind, every genre, hardbacks
and paperbacks, all arranged in categories, shelves wall-to-wall,
a truly fantastic stock, and he is still moving stock in and arranging
rooms at the rear of the shop. Formerly of Heywood market and Houldsworth
Mill Reddish Stockport.
A remarkable shop looks very local and
ordinary from outside in a poor area. But inside excellent keen
friendly owner willing to negotiate prices of extensive good modern
mainly paperback books. WAD. - Norman Davies 01.10.10.

Very good example of its type - for once
a good varied selection well worth a look. Avoid the "special collectors
items" which are as usual overpriced.

Open: Friday & Saturday.
Shutters down and 'Open Thursday Friday
Saturday' painted on the wall (I went on a Wednesday). - Gerald
Baker.
A fun and quirky little shop with potted
plants and a big sofa. Strong on sci-fi, comics, and ephemera, with
a more limited stock covering most topics including history and
novels. A bit pricey, but there really is nothing else in central
Manchester. - George Marshall 26.10.09.
Only saw it from the outside on Wednesday
- what I read said "open Friday and Saturday" - Joachim Duester

Open: 7 days 10.00 - 5.00.
Extremly comprehensive stock, with a book on almost every subject.
This is a very large warehouse on two
floors just off the main road. I spent just over twohours there
and only managed to look through British topography and architecture.
Prices are also very reasonable. - Graham Eastwood.
Situated on an industrial estate just off
the M56, most books are mainly to be found in the large building
although others are in portakabins sited outside. There can be either
hours of searching the thousands of titles or a brisk walk around
observing little for the collector. Either way, it's worth a visit.
- Chris Harte

This is the best used bookshop in Greater
Manchester, but the serious bibliophile or collector should ask
to see the `internet section' upstairs. They have there sequestered
thousands of quality books (at somewhat higher prices). - Jay Kennedy
11.05.10.
Certainly packed with huge numbers of books
and agree WAD. There are however problems with book storage and
condition, particularly in the walk in shipping containers. Best
selection definitely upstairs which can be seen on request.

General stock of secondhand hardback and paperback books as well
as magazines.
It's like a disappointing fair ground
ride: huge signs all the way up the front of the building promising
'Manchester's Number One Book Shop' quicken the pulse but inside
its just a dark dank ground floor of well thumbed porn mags and
a few sad remainders.
- George Marshall 26.10.09.
As George Marshall wrote a year ago: mostly
porn magazines, porn videos and a few paperbacks. - Joachim Duester
