This is literally my favorite bookshop of all time. I've…read moredriven from Bristol and back again just to go to this book shop...it's like Aladdin's cave! I'm a therapist (of many therapies, but holistic based) and every book i could ever need is at the speaking tree. You can order wholesale as well if you are wanting to sell them on for your business. The staff are incredibly nice and helpful, best part the books are not expensive. Typically i pay about £3-£5 per book which is amazing! Esp for Glastonbury... They have two floors and a 'sale' section as you head up the stairs, if you cant find what you were looking for do ask i've been in that boat and found the best book i could have found. They also sell books and poetry by local authors, tarot cards and notebooks. I personally adore books and it's like a little slice of literary heaven. Cannot rave enough about it!

Great selection and not unreasonable pricing (unlike too many bookshops in Glastonbury).read more

The bookshop sells a good range of literature with a selection comprising fiction and non-fiction topics. This shop sells all the up to date releases including the titles from the Richard and Judy book list! It also often advertises books that have been published by local authors. However, the books that are sold here cost a great deal more than those just a few doors down at Superbooks and it is worth bearing that in mind before making a purchase here. The only advantage that this store has over Superbooks is that it has a larger range of up to the minute releases and a larger number of each book - but its definitely worth checking in Superbook first just in case!

A book-lovers paradise!…read more We heard about this place when staying at a nearby B&B. Apparently, it's the largest second hand book seller in the UK, and after visiting I can truly believe this. The Book Barn is a massive warehouse on an industrial estate not far from Bath. It doesn't look much from the outside, but enter at you peril and be prepared to be overcome with the musty smell of second hand books - and what better smell is there, if we are honest?! Shelves are stacked floor to ceiling with every genre of book that you could possibly imagine - cookery, health, travel, science, religion - every topic under the sun. The fictional novels take up most of the space and are loosely categorised alphabetically. It can be a little overwhelming but the staff will run a search for you if you are looking for a particular author, and there are a couple of computers available for public use. The best bit about these books? They are all priced at £1!! I challenge you to come out with less than an armful! There is also a children's area and a rare book section, obviously with a slightly higher price tag. There is a cafe here too selling everything from hot drinks, to freshly baked cakes, cooked breakfasts, and light lunches. A great place to make a start on one of your new purchases. This really is book heaven. Bring a large bag and be prepared to lose a few hours in here!

I'm going to Bookbarn tomorrow and have been several times...its heaven!…read more Literally the biggest library of books you've ever seen in a huge converted barn just outside of Bristol...all books are £1!!! They have free parking and a small tea shop with homemade cake and big old sofas. There is a vintage book section as well with rare books at still very cheap prices. The last time i went i bought 16 books i kid you not. Out of those included the complete works of Shakespeare for £1 (mint condition) complete works of oscar wilde (less mint condition) and the best thing ever: the complete sonnets of Shakespeare which had a sweet message written inside from 1962 where a man bought this book and gave it to her on their 20th Anniversary..and here it was going home with me in 2014. Love that so much. You really can spend hours here, books are put into genres and you are given a map when you come in, sofa's and chairs dotted around for you to casually read along with wheel-able shopping baskets. The staff are super friendly and helpful, it's a bit rough around the edges but super cute, exactly the kinda place i feel at home. If you don't see me for 3 days, i've been in bookbarn :)

The store is a nice size and the displays of books look good. The store does have a bit of other stuff like paint etc but some of it is a bit tatty and looks more like a cheap stocking filler than a gift. The paint however is very good value if you have young kids it is 99p of 550 ml of paint which is great if you have room to store it. A lot of the book and products are a bit out dated but then if you haven't read the book i guess it doesn't matter when it was published The hand baskets in this shop need replacing there are in poor condition and very weak for carrying books. The service at the till is great very quick and easy.

The childrens book section is not very extensive, I am always on the lookout for bargin books for my daughters but they don't seem to have had any new childrens books for ages and the selection seems to be getting smaller. It is good if you are looking for presents though as it has quite a wide section of categories such as recipe books and gardening books etc. It also has a back room which sells a wide range of jigsaw puzzles.

We always pop in here when we're in town and I always find some excellent bargains. The book range changes all the time and usually they only have 1 or 2 of each book, so its hit and miss but there is often plenty of works by well known authors if you are looking for fiction and an interesting range of information books too. Their kids books are very good and they have a good range of board books for very young children. They often have special offers for example buy 2 books for £5 etc. The staff are very friendly and the shop is rarely crowded.
