Bookcase

The most amazing, spectacular, treasure trove of secondhand books, graphic novels, vinyl, and sheet music you could ever wish to explore. Every room and space is packed with shelves and stacks of books from the cellar to the 3rd floor. There are plenty of chairs dotted around to sit and check out whatever you're interested in. Loyalty card available for the avid reader. Even if you don't really do books, do pop in for a look as you are likely to be surprised with what you find. The building itself and the staircase are worth a gander. The staff are truly amazing. They know where everything is, so if you've not got the time to hunt out what you're looking for, just ask. You can also find a good range of new locally published books by local authors on sale. There's disc zone parking nearby and a pay and display car park to the rear. It's also only a short walk from both train and bus stations. For new books, you pop to the bottom right of the building to Bookends, and if your searching has made you hungry or thirsty through the back of Bookends, you'll find the Cakes & Ale Caf where indoor and outdoor seating is available.

I found this shop so disorientating. It felt like an absolute maze of books. Books piled high, I imagined my death and left with haste. Has that nice old book smell though. But it's not for me. Definitely a niche market.

Amazing amount of books. Glad we used the helpful map available at the entrance. We only looked at 2 of the 4 floors as we were on a schedule. You could spend weeks rummaging here.
