 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.
    Since my last visit this has been tidied and reorganised. Good general stock and very reasonable pores. Almost opposite Second chance and a short walk from Arsenal tube station. An only slightly longer one from Finsbury Park tube. - Jon Morgan 26.06.19.

    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.
    Quite a few books in the back two rooms but barely organised. Occasional gems. - Jon Morgan 26.06.19.
