Sharston Books

It is a few years since I went to Sharston books for the first time with my mother. We just loved the character and atmosphere of an old style book shop. It appears to be closed and purchases now made online but it would be lovely to keep it open alongside the online service / there is a place for them both.

Sharston Books used to be one of the hidden gems of Manchester. Bookshelves from wall to ceiling, some even on archways above you, some even in the toilet! It was a book lover's paradise, the place you could go with nothing in mind and walk out with a bag so full and heavy you'd struggle to make it to the bus stop nearby. Going there with friends, partners, family, was one of my favourite things to do in Manchester, and we'd always spend enough to justify our visit. It's been closed for over 2 years now, and the owners still show no sign of reopening. It's now just another online book warehouse, ten a penny on ebay or other websites. A huge waste.

Over a million new and secondhand books. This shop is a proper secondhand book shop. A labyrinth 2 floor building set in a small industrial area. It's like a tardis. On the outside is a small door opening up into a large unit with wall to wall books. Also Framed paintings ornaments,curios. Collectable books,mags,comics. It's also dose book searches. It's now changed hands to new owners. At the moment it is only doing internet orders and inquiries. If and when it opens again it's worth a visit.
