I love that place, it's mint.
Today I purchased Start Trek IV, VI and VIII for £3 each. Having bought II from play the other day, I've now got all the good ones.
You can have a right rummage in there and normally find something cool.
Just a bit of advertising for my favourite places. It's nearly as good as the Kent Road shop.

You're right, sometimes you get a bit of STFC memorabilia, or general football stuff turning up in there.....the Prospect one on the other side of ther Road has some tidy stuff in as well.....I miss Victoria books, which was in Wood Street.....although I had to stop myself going in, as I invariably bought some old book, which I didn't really need, probably because it had good pictures in. |

That old bookshop used to amaze me as a kid. Just seems to keep on going. You'd get towards the back and then there was that staircase down, with the wall still lined with book shelves. Then you'd get into a basement full of more books. I wonder what happened to them all when it closed down. |

Probably took them off to Hay on Wye and flogged them there.....Hay is one of those places sufficiently near to get a visit every couple of years....their Festival of Literature isn't a patch on Swindon's, mind. |

I have to keep out of charity shops,i always end up buying books that i never read,a sort of mania overtakes me and i have to buy them because they are so cheap. Then i end up giving them back to the same shops i got them from in the first place  |
