This is exactly how a used book store should be. Floor to ceiling shelving, groaning under the weight of a thousand pre loved tales just waiting to be rediscovered. Full without being cluttered and clean without being clinical, this store strikes just the right balance to create a cosy environment in which to browse and read. As a self confessed geek of course I went straight upstairs and it is here I found enough comics to keep me occupied for hours. I've honestly been into some comic stores that actually have less than what is on offer here. Completed a few 2000ad runs, and could have taken a lot more from the large number they had. I'm only sorry I don't live closer but will be back whenever I am in the area.

Amazing selection of books and great prices! Maybe it’s good I don’t live close because I would’ve spent way too much money here 🤩

Always an absolute treat to visit this book shop when I'm in Cardiff town! They have some of the best collections from every genre ranging from absolute classics to the newest hits. The friendly and helpful staff only add to this shop's charm, and the prices are usually far better than they have any right of being. This shop has kept me entertained for hours and I have bought many amazing fiction and non-fiction books from here. Definitely visit here if you've got the ability to read (which I'm guessing you do if you can read this)

The most beautiful second-hand bookstore I had the pleasure to visit. So organised, a lot of dreamy collections and an incredible amount of choices. Found a treasure from Keats and obviously had to bring it home 💙

My 8 year old is really into comic books atm and this shop did not disappoint, the lady on the desk was very friendly and helpful, the store itself was beautiful and felt extremely inviting with floor to ceiling book shelves. On the 3rd floor is where are the comic books are kept and I was surprised how reasonably priced they were. The lady on the front desk was very helpful. My son is eager to come back and spend his pocket money.
