General secondhand books, and particularly railways, military and crime, postcards and ephemera. Also LPs & CDs. There are also numerous book shelves all around the massive buildings.
Brilliant, a really great variety of stock, something for everyone, and very reasonable prices. All books were neatly displayed, not one tatty spine or crumpled cover. Owner and the woman working in the shop were friendly, and most welcoming. Not an easy place to get to, but well worth the effort. The Wanderer 14.10.09
Excellent books and service. Amazing stock. Thanks for the First Edition Bond. We will be back. Wirralshrew 27.07.11
Well worth a visit, lots of stock in different subjects. Paul 05.11.11
Still there and still great, with fair prices and condition of books ranging from good to "oh wow, I am having that". The Wanderer 09.06.12
Definitely worth finding this place. Some quality books in here. And a very nice place as well with all the other shops. Gareth 12.07.12
The best second hand bookshop in the area. Reasonable prices, organised stock and an owner who knows his stuff. Always worth a visit. Rosie Gamgee 10.11.12
Probably the best selection of secondhand railway books in the country. Stocks always seem to be moving and so worth regular visits. Rik 16.02.13
This is an interesting and well run bookshop, with a cheery and helpful owner, but, as with a lot of places I visit, I did wonder whether a fair proportion of the stock was not really the sort thing that would sell under any circumstances. Outside in the arcade there were tables of paperbacks and popular coffee-table books that were suffering from the damp atmosphere, but the inside of the shop was well laid out and contained a good, general stock, particularly strong on transport and the countryside. There appeared to be a very good selection of old postcards, but the music section was somewhat muddled and inconsistently priced, and there were some areas of tired stock that needed a bit of attention. Depending on your speciality, it is probably worth a visit, but don't be disheartened if you have difficulty in finding it its well signposted but is quite a trek down country lanes and is a fair distance from Nantwich itself.

This is one of the best antique centre bookshops I have been into for very many a day. A wonderful selection of subjects and huge holdings. I mentioned my collecting 'wants' to the most pleasant owner and he kept coming up trumps for me. Alas, I was dragged away by my wife after two hours but I will most certainly be back.

Not that hard to find - the antiques centre is well signposted. A veritable Aladdin's Cave once inside - something for everyone. Well signposted sections but I did find some strays in each section which did make browsing a bit hit and miss at times. Some stuff did seem a bit overpriced to me for what they were but still plenty at very reasonable prices too. Picked up 3 books for 11 quid and had a quid knocked off without asking. Very impressive shop and will definitely return. Flip M 18.12.15
Just over 18 months later and a return visit. All my previous comments still hold, although the silly pricing annoyed me more this time. More stock on the floor than I remember, shelves all full, some double stacked (incl stuff I saw in 2015, still at the same price). Still got a few quid off at checkout without asking but their stock would shift a lot quicker if the prices were keener (and they'd have more shelf space too perhaps). Flip M 10.08.17
I usually manage to come away from here with a good selection of books. Well worth a visit Archive61 04.10.21
Worth looking at if you are in the area. A lot of paperbacks in cases outside.Plenty of stock, mostly well arranged, in the shop but we did come across some mis-shelved. We thought the prices in some cases rather ambitious, books that we had paid a few pounds for elsewhere were marked up at £30 to £50. They also have a large stock of vinyl and cd's. David 24.10.21
It is always a pleasure to visit such superbly stocked premises. Both my wife and I took four hours to study the stock in depth and many treasures were found. The lady on duty (whose knowledge of books was quite stunning) has been trying to organise the categories to give more prominence to the titles. Harry, the owner, does slightly over-price his books but then offers a discount on purchases! My annual study of the shelves results my bank balance being sorely tested. Chris Harte 20.02.22
I really don't know where Harry gets his stock from. Nine months since my last visit and so many shelves refreshed. Rare titles galore. I spent too much. Chris 13.11.22
