Second hand book shops in Liverpool
I have a friend coming to visit over the weekend from Sheffield who wants to visit second-hand book shops while he is here.
Can anyone tell me where to send him? I am guessing Bold Street, where else?
Thanks very much

Henry Bohn books on London Rd relocated from by Lime Street concourse not long ago.
Why not check out the auction houses too as they often do house clearances which have lots of books?
There is one on Lark Lane
Sadly, it is shut whilst your Sheffield guests are here http://www.amcat.supanet.com/
