 Add a comment  Read commentsHide commentsVery similar to the shop opposite, I overheard a conversation that these used to be the same charity, but a split ensured and the second shop was opened. Again, a wide selection of reasonably priced books. This shop has only been open 6 years! - Steve Newman 12.11.12.
    Lack of volunteer staff meant this was closed on the day of my visit and the whole of the following week, according to a notice in the window. Best to phone in advance. - Nicholas Sack 04.05.17.
    New opening hours, posted on the door: Wed and Sun 1.30-6.00, Thur 10.00-5.00, Fri and Sat 10.00-6.00. - Nicholas Sack 22.02.18.
    Someone has been busy tidying up and sorting books into some sort of order. Was open on a Thursday at 12.30 so looks like they are keeping to the hours Nicholas quotes. - Steve Newman 10.07.18.

 Add a comment  Read commentsHide commentsThe shop is crammed full of books of the cheap and cheerful variety, but good stock and reasonably priced too. Run by an elderly lady on my visit. Apparently this shop has been here 20 years, and is an animal welfare charity. - Steve Newman 12.11.12.
    A small room packed with medium-quality stock, mostly fiction, with some unusual curiosities at pleasingly low prices. Helpful proprietor. Variable opening times, more reliable at the end of the week and at weekends. - Nicholas Sack 04.05.17.
    Further to my earlier comment, shop was closed at 12.30 on the Monday of my visit. - Nicholas Sack 22.02.18.
    Somewhat tidier than on previous visits, stock similar but now better organised and easier to get at. Opening hours now Thursday to Sunday 11am-4pm, but run by volunteers so check before you go. - Steve Newman 10.07.18.

    Just by way of an update this shop is still well worth looking in when in the area. Whilst this shop is always open it can be hard to find the other two book shops here open together, but Thursdays after 11am seems to be a good bet. - Steve Newman 10.07.18.
