Map of Warwickshire

Astley Book Farm
Astley Lane
BEDWORTH  Warwickshire  CV12 0NE
tel: 02476 490235  e-mail  website  map
Open: 7 days 10.00 - 5.00, including Bank Holidays.
General second-hand, hard to find & out of print books.
    Large and spacious shop spread over a range of farm buildings, with ample parking - a little out of the way, but well worth a visit if nearby, simply because of the size, quality and variety of its reasonably priced stock. Must be one of the largest shops in the country. - Gareth James 12.09.08.
    Definitely the best shop in the Midlands. The stock of novels is huge, they're in perfect alpha order and browsing room is plentiful. Prices are also surprisingly reasonable, mostly in the £1.50-£3.00 range even though the books are all in good condition. - Nick Campsall 04.11.08.

    How nice to find an owner who knew her subject. Found the division of subjects easy to follow. Strong on county matters. - Chris Harte 01.04.09.

STRATFORD-UPON-AVON  Warwickshire  CV37 6LT
tel: 01789 209232
Open: Monday - Saturday 9.30 - 4.30.
    The Stratford Bookshop rises, zombie-like, as another dismal charity bookshop. Largish readers stock spread over two floors. Also interesting bookstall in nearby antique centre in Ely St. Small R/C stock. - Son of Drif 22.12.09.

68 Smith Street
WARWICK  Warwickshire  CV34 4HU
tel: 01926 493266  map
    Somewhat dusty and rather low-key but interesting material to be found if you persist. - Michael Mendelblat.
    The shop owner objects to the above review. - TBG.

The Chaucer Head Book Shop
21 Chapel Street
STRATFORD-UPON-AVON  Warwickshire  CV37 6EP
tel: 01789 415691  map
    Easily found close to the town centre this is a medium sized shop with two very well stocked rooms and a lot more in a corridor outside. Inevitably in Shakespeare's birthplace the literary theme is prevalent but the shop has a good general selection of other subjects and, while a bit of a tight squeeze between shelves when busy, the shop does seem to have something to interest most of the family as well as the Shakespeare tourists. - Jeremy Briggs 29.06.09.
