    Books are decently priced and the selection is amazing. The bizarre cobbled together nature of the…read morebuilding only adds to its charm. Some of the books are old, very very old, so pay attention. Checkout is easy and smooth. Several things need to be noted. To get inside you have to drive over the worst driveway in the Midlands so go slow or expect damage to your vehicle. The parking are is both tight, unlit and tricky to use. Expect to get mud on your shoes and clothing getting inside. Getting out onto the busy main road you will need your St Christopher and a lot of faith. There is a cafe inside that has to be double the price of similar locations. The food is very tasty and the drinks are nice but its not a cheap date. It is also popular with locals that have little to no interest in the books. Outside in the parking area, destroying valuable parking space, are five or six 20' shipping containers that reportedly contain a fresh selection of books. One of them was here when I last visited in 2020. It must be difficult to unload them?

    I have just visited Astley Book Farm and then read the reviews previously shown on here, I must say…read moreI really do not understand them. What a fantastic place, and no it definitely is not a charity shop. They have tens of thousands of books, covering all subjects and in great condition. This is a place for collectors as well as general buyers. Pricing is very reasonable and the staff chatty and friendly. Somebody was trying to give books away whilst I was there but the owner explained that they have lots in storage and have to pay to dispose of books that they cannot sell on. One of the best secondhand bookshops I have ever been to, highly recommended.
