Horrible experience! Extremely unfriendly people are working in this shop. I live in UK for 8 years and have never met such a disgusting disrespectful attitude. They are discussing you and what are you trying on/buying behind your back. While "you can't hear it". Just disgusting. I can't to believe I've got this experience in the charity shop!

Brilliant little book shop! So much choice in books, a good selection of fiction, children’s book and others such as health and advice. The store is well laid out and the staff are friendly.

Not sure why the last 2 reviews weren't good. Saltaire shop is always an enjoyable shopping experience, with very pleasant helpful volunteers who always endeavor to go the extra mile.

I had a look round the shop, it had plenty of stock and was very clean. Unfortunately I didn't interact with any staff but I did hear them serving other people and they seemed friendly.

A fantastic range of books for the young and the older generation. They also sell records and games fairly priced.
