Large good quality general stock, some antiquarian and particularly literature, the visual arts and Scottish books.
    Big shop with a great selection of books over two rooms and an attic - probably the biggest of the Hillhead bookshops and, for me, the very definition of a good second hand bookshop. - Jeremy Briggs.
    Caledonia Books is pretty hard to beat for quantity of stock and variety of subject matter,but don’t expect any bargains. - Allan Campbell 06.03.09.

Oxfam Bookshop
330 Byres Road
GLASGOW  Lanarkshire  G12 8AP
tel: 0141 338 6185  map
    Big, busy, well organised shop which appears to have a high turnover of stock. One of the biggest Oxfam Bookshops that I have ever come across. - Jeremy Briggs.
    Yes, the BIGGEST Oxfam I have seen. Sadly it was also about the most expensive and I found the stock mundane, boring even. Staff?, about the same as the shop, with a very "who cares" attitude. - The Wanderer 11.02.09 .
    Couldn’t agree more with The Wanderer’s thoughts on this Oxfam bookshop.Very expensive but, if you’re feeling a bit low, it’s well worth a visit to look in their “Glass Case”, as snorting to oneself and un-inhibited laughter usually follow. What annoys me in particular is proffering more than one book to the staff at the till. I think they’re programmed to accept only one book,and go into overload if you hand them six. - Allan Campbell 06.03.09.

Relics
Dowanside Lane  Byers Road
Glasgow  Lanarkshire  G12 9BZ
tel: 0141 341 0007  map
Open: ?
    Huddled with a few other shops quite a distance down a back alley opposite Hillhead Underground station, this is a rather chaotic collectables shop with a good selection of annuals, popular music, film and television related books. - Jeremy Briggs.
    Takes tatty to a whole new level. Books with missing pages, broken spines and just downright nasty, all overpriced for good-quality editions, let alone the load of tat they were. Only about 50 meters from the road but that is still not worth the walk. - The Wanderer 11.02.09

61 Otago St
GLASGOW  Lanarkshire  G12 8PQ
tel: 0141 334 8777  map
Open: Monday - Saturday 11.00 - 5.30.
A general secondhand bookshop with an interest in history and and Scottish books.
    A general secondhand bookshop with an interest in history and Scottish books. Don't be put off by it being down a back lane off Otago Street - a medium sized shop with a good general stock, well worth searching out. - Jeremy Briggs.
    Well worth a visit. Friendly and welcoming owner, great condition stock at very fair prices and very nicely set-out. The best of the Glasgow bookshops for me. - The Wanderer 11.02.09
    Thistle Books is literally a few yards away from V&R,but never thought much of it stock-wise,although it’s quite well laid out. - Allan Campbell 06.03.09.

Voltaire & Rousseau
18 Otago Lane
GLASGOW  Lanarkshire  G12 8PB
tel: 0141 339 1811  map
Open: Monday - Saturday 11.00 - 6.30.
Large stock including literature, history, Scottish and antiqurian books.
    Down a much friendlier lane off Otago street than Thistle Books, this big shop could give Caledonia Books a run for its money with the amount of stock. Books to the ceiling but also in piles on the floor in front of the bookshelves. With more stock than they really have room for, it gives the impression that the book you are after is there if only you could spend the time moving the piles about. However if you want to search through the science fiction pile you might have to persuade the sleeping cat to move first. That said, this is my favourite shop in the area, always worth a visit. - Jeremy Briggs.
    Cluttered just about starts to describe this dump. Give yourself a couple of hours just to move the mainly-creased stock from where they are dumped. As for looking at any of the lower shelves, forget it unless you like shifting piles of stuff with nowhere to put it. They need to dump the crap and then they could display the books they have which are worth buying. - The Wanderer 11.02.09
    Voltaire and Rousseau’s is an institution and I like going there, and there’s a secret to dealing with the piles of books in front of the shelves. Simply knock them over. One of the guys then comes along and insists that he will sort it out. When he’s doing that you simply stand beside him and look at what he’s picking up. Easy! Good prices in here and the military section is extensive.Never seem to have much travel or biography,which is quite unusual.Cash only too,which can be a bit of a pain,especially if you’re buying a decent quantity. - Allan Campbell 06.03.09.
    Certainly not a dump. Great '£1 and under' section, great sci fi section and very good history section. The fact that you have to do a little bit of searching is not a problem. 'Cash only' doesnt bother me as I often carry money. - Ian McElroy 18.08.09.

Young's Interesting Books
18 Skirving Street  Shawlands
GLASGOW  Lanarkshire  G41 3AA
tel: 0141 6499599  e-mail  map
Open: Monday - Saturday 10.00 - 6.00 (7.00 on Thursday) Sundays 11.00 - 4.00.
Small but growing general selection, with an emphasis on illustrated, unusual and quirky titles, pop-up books and nice editions of modern and classic literature. Also a good Glasgow and Scottish selection. Just opened in Shawlands, as Glasgow's only Southside bookshop. We're buying as well, and we'd be delighted to find elusive items you're after.
