    A most knowledgable owner who was candid enough to state that his good material went virtually as soon as it arrived. He had some interesting bits from between the wars but little else from pre-1960. - Chris Harte 27.06.09.
    Helpful owner and reasonably priced stock too. Worth a visit but don't expect anything out of the ordinary. - Steve Newman 03.12.14.

    Certainly worth a visit, but the piles of new/unshelved stock seem to increase every time I visit, to the detriment of the overall experience - perhaps a sort-out to concentrate on quality over quantity might help? - Henry Middleton 05.02.08
    I would agree that it is really time for this shop to have a sort out. Many of the prices are optimistic and much of the stock needs to be skipped. There are some bargains to be had but most people would soon get fed up trying to find them. Bookshops such as this are going to the wall every week and a complete rethink is needed here. - Nicholas Pendower 17.11.08.
    Very muddled shop but overflowing with all types of books. Most titles from the 1970-2005 era and very little pre-war material. Owner was helpful but his pricing was all over the place. Worth a visit for his political autobiographies which are there in a large number. - Chris Harte 27.06.09.
    If your idea of a bookshop involves sitting amongst books drinking real ale & cider this is definitely the place for you. Don't expect bargain prices either with the books or ale and stock is all over the place, but worthy of a call if in the area and thirsty! - Steve Newman 03.12.14.
