    Found them open at long last. Very general stock with many paperbacks. - Chris Harte 09.05.11.
    Large religious and theology section, together with an almost as large selection of French language books. Mostly paperbacks but some interesting items nonetheless. Pricing reasonable. - Graeme Rendall 15.09.18.

A large selection of philosophy, literature, archaeology, psychology, history, art, poetry, travel, military, fishing, natural history, biography, science fiction, children's and antiquarian. Out of print collectable. All books reasonably priced and we are always looking for new stock and keep the place rotating. Always worth a visit.

    Overpriced tat for the most part, many of the books with creasing, split spines, and way overpriced compared to all the other bookshops in the area. Just not worth the effort. - The Wanderer. 31.03.09.
    Managed to get in this time. A bit untidy, and the stock is generally low key. Didn't manage to buy anything, however, would go in again if it was open, as you never know. - Robert Brown (Bookdealer) 29.06.09.
     Vastly improved, in the middle of refurbishing. New shelves, stock has been weeded and is now far better quality than previously. Prices were reasonable and owner was friendly. - The Wanderer 27.11.09
    This shop may look tatty from the front but don't give up, for there is a lot to explore. I was taken down to the basement where I spent a good hour getting covered in dust but I emerged triumphant with a number of sought after volumes. Friendly owner who has recently purchased the stock of a nearby bookshop which, alas, has closed its doors. - Chris Harte 17.08.10.
    This was my fourth visit to the area in two years with money in my pocket for book buying and I have never seen this shop open at normal opening hours. Maybe I am persistently unlucky? - Norman Davies 14.11.14.
    Yes! Finally success this week. Decent selection, negotiable prices, still being rearranged, and was hottest day of the year. Overall worth a look if passing and shop open. - Norman Davies 26.07.16.
    Now only open 11.15 to 14.00 Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Sign on door gives apology for reduced opening hours. Pity I turned up at 14.30 on a Friday! - Graeme Rendall 15.09.18.
