    A bit disorganised and could do with a clear out of dead stock but generally some good stuff at reasonable prices. - ie review and proof copies. Several other charity shops close by (Oxfam BHF etc). - jon morgan 09.06.12.
    This shop will be closing for good on Sunday 25th January 2015. Sales of stock will be happening in January so do come and ask if you have been considering buying something here. Sarah@amnesty 03.01.15.
    Now reopened just a stone's throw from its previous location. - Chris K 30.01.16.
    Brighter larger and more airy than the last shop. It looks like they will be in this shop for at least 18 months as gentrification creeps along King Street. It has the space to have a greater range than before with no dross or pulp to be seen. Good modern fiction section with recently published review copies at reasonable prices. Large children's section with a small play area to inculcate a love of reading in the coming generations. Other charity shops in King Street not really worth visiting but Amnesty is worth popping into, if in the area. - jon Morgan 27.02.16.
    Bigger but lots of empty space. Dull stock - not as interesting as the last shop. I've found nothing to buy in three visits. Seemingly little turnover in any of the areas I buy in. Perhaps using the extra empty space for more books would help. - Peter M 26.07.16.One would assume that this charity receives sackloads of donations, and yet their stock never changes. A lot of space filled with tat. - Ducky Duckman 05.12.16.
    Recent comments are fair - these bookshops often have the better items only online - via Amazon and Abe. - Chris K 22.12.16.
    I found this shop a joy to visit. The manager knew his stock and it is a credit to him that the shelves were perfectly categorised. Certain sections needed time to browse and I eventually came away with a nice selection of titles. - Chris Harte 14.06.18.
    The lease on this shop is going to expire soon and they are currently looking for a new location. - Mandalay Bookshop 06.12.18.
    Still open and a splendid stock beautifully arranged. I had to visit on successive days to carry away my purchases. - Chris 21.01.19.
