Contrary to the name 'Book Corner' isn't a book shop and strictly speaking isn't on a corner, although it is very close to one (the old Coach Tour place next door is on the corner). It is in fact a small but well stocked newsagents. They stock a wide selection of newspapers and magazines as well as confectionary and tobacco products. You can also pay the Idiot Tax (ie play Lotto) here. In the Summer they usually have a couple of racks of cheap paperbacks outside which presumably accounts for the name.
It is a handy shop if you're at the bottom end of town and don't fancy a hike up to Smiths to buy a paper, although if you're looking to buy a book I'd try Bookwise which is just across the road.
It's close to the railway station and coach park so no doubt they pick up quite a bit of passing trade from passing travellers. read more
