A huge collection of used books covering every topic you can think of is there for you to peruse. Quality can vary from almost new to a few rough edges but at these prices who can argue. Well you can if you want to barter some with the stall holders. They will buy as well as sell and if you buy from them and return it in good condition with their sticker still on it they'll give you some credit back. If you don't see what you've been looking for they will check the rest of their stock for you or keep an eye out for the future. Friendly but firm and good value to book.(sorry)

Although the range varies I have seen what looked like a belly dancing costume in the window once, and a rather nice row of bags that seemed to be made out of carpets! Definitely not to be missed if you are visiting Sedbergh.

Proprietor Barry, with his assistant Jerry the cat, will find it for you. Indeed, probably several books on topic. Or just go in with an open mind and you'll find many books of interest. The difficulty will be deciding which to buy. Don't worry, the prices are so reasonable that you can take all you can carry. Beware, there are approximately 14,000 books there, so bring a really big bag.
