This shop is amazing. I know you might be thinking, "but I know a book store, it was pretty good..." it doesn't have anything on this place. It had all the charming traits of a good book store 1) floor to ceiling books 2)books covering every possible surface 3)books on every possible subject 4) looks like it was someone's house before it overflowed with so many books that they had to start selling them to make room for more books 5) a knowledgeable man who seemed to have an acute knowledge of the obscure field that your looking for and more importantly, where the books you need are 6) it smells like books 7) very very reasonably priced, not that this matters as anyone who is a book lover knows, low prices just means you end up buying more. Really recommend!

Lovely old fashioned book shop tucked away in the back street of Aberystwyth. Second hand books galore on every subject just ask if you can't find what you are looking for. Dog friendly too!

Probably one of the most satisfying book shops you have been to. It is absolutely beautiful inside with a very old school aesthetic and a lot little personal touch that almost feels like you are walking in their home 😍

An excellent collection of books in very good condition, if you are looking for a book and he doesn't have it then he will give you a good recommendation for the best local store to visit.

An excellent bookshop with countless books on everything in English and Welsh, and a few floor-to-ceiling shelves of foreign-language books including ones in Irish and Breton. A lovely place to get lost in

One of the best. Huge selection. Excellent natural history section with the latest titles and many older books. A helpful and knowledgeable owner. A delight to visit. Very difficult not to leave without buying.

This bookshop is part of the fabric of the town, yet still there are those who have lived here for decades and don't know of it. A massive array of books of all shapes, sizes and - most importantly - ages. Every nook and cranny seems to have an old (and sometimes dusty) book.
