Three floors of secondhand books with a large children's section, and a paperback room.
    Looked good from the outside but not too much of substance on the shelves. Full of passing holidaymakers who were browsing without seemingly knowing what they wanted. Counter staff more intent on composing an email "to Alice" than bothering to look for requested generic titles. - Chris Harte 12.08.09.
    This is a wonderful oldie worldy shop. They stock thousands from leathers to topography to humour to history. I LOVE the childrens room. - D. White 11.12.09.
    Totally disagree with Chris Harte. Delightful shop, excellent stock. Staff helpful and was impressed with efforts to try to find the requested titles. A great range of books, well organised. - tiffjolie 11.12.09.
    Lovely secondhand bookshop. Found some real gems. They even do penguin mugs! Wide range of books to choose from including art, local history, military, cookery, poetry, transport and c hildren's. Staff very helpful. Will definately be back. - Marcus True 21.12.09.

    Great shop. Staff very helpful in assisting me, they did not have what I wanted secondhand but were able to locate it brand new. Great art selection. - Marcus Jones 11.12.09.
    I managed to find a lovely range of unusal books here. Also one from their Arundel shop was brought over for me. Staff was very helpful. Fab selection of motoring for Goodwood days including rare. One of my favourite shops. - tiffjolie 11.12.09.
