Interesting little place, this one. Basically its a second hand bookstore, and unlike most of the…read moremodern book stores, its feels like and old fashioned book sellers, and even has the smell of an old fashioned book store too. There are plenty of books on display - so many that you may find it difficult to find anything you're specifically searching for, and many of the titles are the older titles. While there are some more modern (ie - published in the last ten years or so) titles on offer, the majority are older. There are both literature and reference books on sale, in varying degrees of condition from good to just about acceptable. In addition to this, there are also a range of comic books and old magazines (a wide range of titles such as murder casebook for example, if thats your thing) and they offer a title search service to help you find a specific title which they might not have in stock. On the downside, it usually looks a little untidy in there with piles of books on the floor. The big 2nd hand places in London and so on look much tidier, and quite a few of the books on sale are expensive to say they arent of any real value and in sometimes poor condition, but its worth a look if you're in search of something specific or even just browsing for a casual read.

And yes, that's a positive take on the famous "Lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch'intrate" of Dante's Inferno, for this place represents, in its entirety, the opposite to the Inferno's loss of hope. The Minster Gate Bookshop is a palace of wisdom, an oasis of knowledge, a refuge of hope and peace. When you walk up the stairs and see every single wall covered in the most magnificent old and modern tomes, you can't help but feel total and complete bliss. The selection of books in all floors is impeccable. It could take me or you days just browsing every shelf. I stumbled upon it on a visit to the Minster of York, the main attraction in town, but on a second visit the York Minster will be relegated to a secondary level of importance. My first stop will undoubtedly be The Minster Gate Bookshop!

Having all at once the atmosphere of a bookshop, a museum, and an interesting relative's even more interesting house, the building provides a tranquil haven to become absorbed by fiction and history. The antiquarian volumes are breathtaking and cheaper editions can also be found for students stocking up for the new term. The History room is the loveliest, with an old desk and chair and battered old rug on the floorboards. The views out of the window are equally charming as the rooftops of the city reveal themselves like a Mary Poppins landscape.
