Smells odd and not great prices compared to other charity shops

Great selection of books, including graphic novels, and all genres such as fiction, but the shop contains more non fiction which is what I like. The shop is not that big and I feel it should have been bigger, for the sheer number of customers that goes in. Overall a great used bookshop and great value too.
