A marvellous old secondhand bookshop over three floors with at least two rooms on each. I've been…read morecoming here for over 20 years to buy and sell books. The people are very friendly, and honest too - they have pointed out to me more than once that a book I was hoping to sell them was worth more than I'd thought! Once I took a carrier bag full of old books expecting to get about £20 but I came away with £200! Mind you, that doesn't happen every day but I happened to have a valuable first edition in the bag on that occasion, and it illustrates the honesty of the owners well. I have bought a lot of books here too and half the fun has been browsing. It's such a marvellous old building and the books are laid out nicely with the wooden shelves clearly labelled, so it's easy to find all the different categories. There are books on most subjects and a good classics and general fiction section - paperbacks as well as hardbacks - something for everyone! There's a pay and display car park immediately opposite.

Shockingly, someone told me that this magnificent and oh so friendly shop is actually part of a much larger and voracious chain of paper sellers and newsagents who trade under the same name. Surely not. I mean can you imagine a bland corporate identity and an obsession with removing as much money from your purse as possible being identified with this wonderful shop? God forbid.

The guy running it was very enthusiastic and friendly and I wished him lots of luck when I visited. Unfortunately, the rather down market location, the availability of discounted books on the internet and in supermarkets, and the credit crunch - appear to have combined to take their toll on The Story Teller, which has sadly just closed.

If you need to buy things like washing powder, nappies, cooking items etc, then Makro is a good place to go as you will definitely save money. The main thing to remember is that you have to add 17.5% VAT to everything except food and kids clothes!
