It's a 'not-for-profit organisation' They collect unwanted books from donations etc, if you can find the certain book you want, you pay whatever you wish! Half the proceeds of what you spend is sent to developing countries as well as some relevant literature, and the other half goes to planting trees around Britain. How cool is that?! There are 100's of books in this tiny little gem of a bookshop and loads of different genres. It's worth taking a look, cos you'll probably be surprised what you find.

They sell everything you would expect from a newsagents including tobacco, crisps and sweets as well as a wide choice of magazines and newspapers. Langmaids is ideal when you just want to buy a magazine or something but don't want to have to queue for 10 minutes in Tescos. The shop itself is clean and presentable and the staff are always polite and friendly. Their prices seem reasonable and i would have no hesitation in recommending this newsagents.

The shop sells exclusively second-hand old records, mainly from the 80s and early 90s, at reasonable prices (usually under a tenner). They also occasionally have interesting things like boxes of singles. The shop has quite limited opening hours, but if you see something you've really got to have in the window, you can ring the guy up and ask him about it.

Shockingly, someone told me that this magnificent and oh so friendly shop is actually part of a much larger and voracious chain of paper sellers and newsagents who trade under the same name. Surely not. I mean can you imagine a bland corporate identity and an obsession with removing as much money from your purse as possible being identified with this wonderful shop? God forbid.

The thing that really irritates me about this branch of Game is it seems really badly designed!…read moreThere are pillars and stands (with magazines and walkthroughs on) in the shop which block off people-flow, so you have to walk really long ways around to get to where you want, and is always packed with people getting in each others way and being stressed out. That really puts me off browsing in here. Other than that, they have a pretty limited range of second-hand games, and don't stock ANY games for old consoles like the gamecube or original xbox, so that can be disappointing. They're alright for new mainstream releases though.
