Such a hidden gem just set back from the main road in a gap between the buildings. It's quite compact, because there's alot of books in there. Many start from just 50p, and even the more expensive ones are simply a few pounds. All areas are different sections that are marked what's what. If you're lucky "Jerry " the cat may be about upstairs for a quick stroke. Great for a visit if you like books, you'll find a bargain in here !!

Always a wonderful selection. Some hard to find. Nothing beats nosing around a real bookshop with nice owners. So much has become souless online button pressing, but this one is real soul searching. Lovely. Barty

Is there a finer, funkier, funnier, bookstore in all of Yorkshire? Maybe all of the UK? I don’t think so. What topic are you looking for? Proprietor Barry, with his assistant Jerry the cat, will find it for you. Indeed, probably several books on topic. Barry estimates that he has over 14,000 books. Jerry says, "too many to count." Go in with an open mind and you’ll find many books of interest. The difficulty will be deciding which to buy. Don’t worry, the prices are so reasonable that you can take all you can carry.

Amazingly good value (nothing I looked at was more than £2.50) and a very helpful owner. I left with six history/topography/landscape books for a total of £9, several hardback - and would have bought several others if I'd been able to squeeze any more into an already full rucksack! Definitely one to visit.
