They stock all the best known books and always have the latest releases. There is a large children's section as well as the usual adult fiction and reference and this is just the place to while away the odd hour browsing for a good book.

However there is a huge gap in the children aged 8-15! Virtually nothing! They've also started stocking keyrings and fluffy toys, and similar bit and bobs. So it's well worth a good snoop around if you are looking for a present or something like that. Next time I go in there, I must ask about the older children - after all, mine loves reading.

When I first moved to the area the staff were particularly patient and attentive in helping me select the right map for my needs, but were even better at helping me translate what I saw on paper into practice by telling me things to watch out for, the best places to visit, and what they personally liked about the area - in effect, I had the services of a local guide for the price of a map! Can't be bad! Even when I haven't got time to call in and have a good browse, I always enjoy the ever-changing window displays - the Halloween one was particularly good! All in all, a great place.

Once found,…read moredon't be fooled by the outside (which, to be honest, is an absolute mess) inside, if you're looking for music, this is a treasure trove of second-hand gems. It does what you want and no more, don't expect a really fancy looking store inside though, no fancy gimmicks on the wall, just a store full of all types of music. If you like the old Vinyl, cassette tapes etc, then have a good look around as there is plenty on sale, you just have to dig deep for it. A huge collection of CD music as-well for all you modern types :) You can see it's run by someone who just loves music. Overall 4/5

A hidden treasure. Piled high with vinyl and CD's. Not organised or flash, but worth a visit.read more
