Absolutely love this stall. Great customer service, great mix of books and comics. Have been coming here for over 10 years. Something for everyone. I walk away from there buying something nearly everytime I come here. Reasonably priced, too. x

Colin, love your shop and opportunities to visit and browse. What a small bookshop should be - a smart, widespread selection of books and an owner who it is always good to chat with. Looking forward to visiting soon. (PS have you an online presence?)

This shop was hard to find at first but I found it in the end and it's base in town in a market area 2nd isle on your right when you walk in. Not bad books/ comics there but on the outside of the store it's 2nd handed books. Also very small shop. Didn't have a book I was looking for even though online it said it had it in store.

Great place, inside the Cardiff Market. Found loads of books I wanted at great prices. It has lots of character and it's surrounded by equally interesting shops.

Where to start with this place! I’ve been coming here since I was young to pick up Batman, Spider-Man and marvel comics! These guys have amazing stock and great prices! Best comic book shop in cardiff! The staff are always extremely kind and helpful and always know a lot about their stock! Will always come back to this place:)

Looked in this great friendly little shop on a visit to Cardiff yesterday. Bought several vintage paperbacks (Penguins,fontana etc) to add to my collection, at very reasonable prices. Will definately return next time.

A great find in a busy marketplace, with loads of hidden gems on its shelves. A shame that it's not as tidy as others, but with limited space there's only so much you can do.

It's been years since I past through the old market and decided to see if this store was still around, it was, and turned into a lovey trip down memory lane. Really friendly, had a nice chat and purchased a few 70's comics which cought my eye. Long boxes are a little disorganised, but that was half the fun, sorting through trying to find a gem.
