I was so excited when it was originally announced that this shop was coming to Grimsby because our…read morehouse loves books. In general I am still pretty grateful for them coming but there are a few bugbears to contend with. The store is fairly large - but not as large as some others in the chain in other towns and cities. What space they have doesn't seem to have been put to good use. There are high book cases all round the perimeter of the shop as expected but the floor space within is taken up by a hotch potch of displays, low book cases, tall book cases, tables, all sorts of random displays - it looks messy. It's also very difficult to find things and when its busy it's a nightmare to get around and view things. It's a shame because they do have some fantastic books and generally speaking the prices are lower than most of the competitors but sometimes it's just a pain to try to find what you might want. The staff are pretty good, usually knowing the subject quite well and are helpful.

Recently renovated and much more spacious, this is definitely at the budget end of the scale, with…read morelots of very very cheap books.

Wrights has a good range of books, but the shop isn't laid out particularly well and it can be…read moreconfusing - I think they try to have too many different services within one shop. However, they do sometimes have events to meet local authors, and the staff are nice and friendly. Book prices tend not to be discounted but there are occasional special offers. Wrights has a good range of newspapers and magazines and also sells a small range of snacks, plus stationery, art supplies, cards and gift wrap and cake decorating equipment. The shop has been in Louth for years and is famous for its upside-down sign (it used to be Parkers).

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.

This is one of my favourite places in Norfolk. At first glance it's just a café (and a very good…read moreone at that) with a few bookshelves, but venture into the back room, or even into the cellar and you are met with hundred of second hand books, some really old, some foreign, some practically new. Love this place!

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.

A friendly, old-fashioned shop crammed with books of all kinds. I visit every fortnight or so and…read moreoften find interesting titles have arrived. Well worth looking into.
