Excellent bookstore, over a Km of shelving crammed with used and remainders books all at reasonable prices. Parking on the premises. I have purchased many items here for my collection of military history books and there is huge selection covering almost all topics. Worth a visit.

Large, well curated selection of second hand books at respectable prices and with friendly, knowledgeable service. This is a great secondhand bookshop. Not much more you can ask for short of an open hearth fireplace, deep leather sofas and a glass of port.

I have been visiting this amazing book shop for close to 20 years. There are hidden treasures all around the shelves waiting to be found. Highly recommend checking it out.

Something for everyone at very reasonable prices! Excellent service and the shop is just a maze, you'll be amazed at how many books they have!!! So many rooms. You'd never expect this when you walk through the Front door or even look at it from outside. Very friendly and helpful Laura and some lovely customers. There's space for kids as well so parents can browse and kids can browse. There's is no pressure to buy anything. They also have a tardis :) I bought a funny book about German composite words that have translation and interpretation and it made me laugh out loud, only 5 bucks. And i also bought a super rare card deck, wasn't cheap but very reasonably priced given how rare it is. Really enjoyed shopping at Canty's :)
