In Alnwick, Northumberland, probably the most interesting second hand bookshop in the UK. Any shop with a train set can't be all bad!

Een Echte Boekwinkel, met houten laddertjes. Een van de talloze met nieuwe en tweedehands boeken in de buurt rond het Odéon.
Das ist ein kleines Wortspiel. Buchheim ist einerseits ein Kölner Stadtteil, andererseits kann es auch Heim der Bücher bedeuten.
This is a little play on words. Buchheim is a district of Cologne, but it can also mean “home of books”.
The owner wasn't too happy about me taking pictures here. Have never met such a rude old bugger in Japan. So here are the pictures just to spite the bastard. In Kuramae, Tokyo.
Closing up late evening after an author event, most of the lights off, took quick snap of the Gruffalo - aka The G-Man - and Hugless Douglas on the bookshop sofa. A local brewery had supplied beer for the book launch, fortunately I managed to keep this pair away from it, they are party animals after dark!
Richard Booth's bookshop in Hay on Wye, the most amazing place for book lovers, even the haters like my daughter enjoyed it. Impossible to capture in a single shot so I've had to upload 5 (sorry) and even then I haven't shown you the wonderful Wizard of Oz window display or the beautiful wooden staircase or the carpeted reading area by the light filled windows with its sumptuous armchairs or the dark basement bursting at the seams or the... too much to show, you really have to go!
Richard Booth, self proclaimed King of Hay, started the second hand bookshop trend that has grown until Hay was declared the 'Town of Books'. It's most successful spinoff has been the Hay Literary Festival which attracts some 500,000 visitors a year to this tiny rural town. He no longer owns the shop but it is satisfying to see bookshops thriving.
