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?
theres a good one in Mount Pleasant somewhere to the junc of Clarence Street. AND Oxfam in Smithdown Road have a great selection of books ( I know they have educational and other genres there as I go there quite often) Oh and Oxfam in Bold Street have loads as well.

ReplyDeleteThe one in the arcade in Southport is v good indeed if s/he wants to go that far
There was also a really good one just off Berry Street on Parr St i think, three or four buildings down on the right from the corner with berry st
Henry Bohn books on London Rd relocated from by Lime Street concourse not long ago.
ReplyDeleteWhy not check out the auction houses too as they often do house clearances which have lots of books?
There is one on Lark Lane
