An old-style, low-key browsers' bookshop offering a really wide choice of interesting fiction and non-fiction. From July 2018 it is being run as a community enterprise.

    The stock is varied and sizeable, but the pricing is somewhat inconsistent and perhaps a little above average. However, it is certainly worth a visit and I'm sure that collectors would not come away empty handed. - Nicholas Pendower 01.11.12.
    A visit made even more welcome by the most helpful lady in charge. A wide selection of titles with plenty on Lancashire and local towns. Children's books had their own alcove with hundreds of annuals noted. Well worth a visit. - Chris Harte 23.03.15.
    Hidden away down a side street, the shop is old fashioned and quaint. Non fiction was mostly upstairs and I found a few things to buy, quite cheaply. Many shelves were double stacked which I'm not personally a fan of but I know some are. Worth stopping by, although the shop seemed a little neglected and dated. - Flip M 10.08.17.
    Apparently changed hands but still same old tired stock - no quality. Asked new owner about an un-priced pamphlet and immediately scanned to Iphone to find his {ABE] price which he quoted! Did not buy & will not be going back. - Wiz collector 09.08.18.
    We found it closed on Monday, 6.8.18 with a notice in the window saying it had been sold and a community group was being formed to manage it. Something for all of us to support in whatever way possible. (Good range of stock when we were last there in 2017.) - S+S 09.08.18.
    The shop is now run as a community enterprise under a part-time manager. Currently it is unchanged from its previous incarnation but there are plans afoot to refurbish and reorder the space to facilitate events. Pricing is internet-based, taking a middle-of-the-road approach. Disappointingly, their plans do not sound to involve refreshing and upgrading the rather tired and ordinary stock. I hope I am wrong, but this looks, at least for the forseeable future, to be a local bookshop for local people. - TravellingLibrary 04.07.19.

The manageress was book savvy and knew her job so it was fascinating to chat with her. Some very good titles on the shelves and all categorised. Prices very reasonable. I left with a bag full. Well worth a visit. - Chris Harte 23.03.15.
    Well organised, a decent and easy to browse selection, although nothing out of the ordinary really. Prices reasonable (not always the case with Oxfam shops). If going to George St Books, its worth popping in (about 5 mins walk away). - Flip M 10.08.17.
    Nice, bright, well-laid out and obviously well-run shop with interesting stock. Prices mostly very reasonable. Our trip netted some 20 books. I call that a successful visit! - TravellingLibrary 04.07.19.
