    This is how I remember second hand bookshops from my youth. Presided over by wise old folk and this chap had clearly been there a long time, as unfortunately, had his stock. Some gems though and worth a visit if only to support him in keeping going. This shop appeared to have been there since 1956 judging by a certificate on the wall. - Jon Morgan 05.02.08.

TEMPLE CLOUD  Somerset  BS39 6EX
tel: 01761 451777  map
Claims to have 'a million plus books on offer'.
    This Bookbarn follows the established pattern. Lots of ex-library, multiple copies of unsalable books, erratic prices and indifferent condition. However, if you're persistent or just looking for reading material it can prove worthwhile. Trade discount if you apply in writing, beforehand - TBG.
    There is now a second Book Barn on the site, but this one is modern, bright, with a better grade of stock, and no sign of ex-library. There is even a snack bar and some comfortable seating. - CNB
