exchange bookshops

My interests are mainly science fiction and childrens. The shops generally have a good range of these and they are at reasonable prices. The shops also have a real "second hand bookshop" atmosphere - by which I mean, the books are put into appropriate sections, mostly, but overflow onto piles on the floor - you feel you'll discover, any moment, a title that's been on your wish-list for years! (Unlike some "sanitised" second-hand bookshops, they stock old, somewhat battered treasures as well as near-pristine recent publications.) [Jane, 02/2004]
