  I've loved this place since I first started visiting in the 1990s. It's still just as much fun, with a wide variety of books in a relatively small space, along with stationery and cards, etc. Not the cheapest but then you can go for dinner, then coffee and cake, then a movie at the Dendy, and then browse the books in Better Read Than Dead, all without walking more than a few hundred metres. Always worth a browse :)

  Attend book club here every now and then. Lovely local bookshop with amazing staff and great use of social media. Whoever said the bookshop was dead

  For me it's the best book store in Newtown. Large collection of SciFi. You might get better prices somewhere else, but for some reason I'll always do my shopping here.

  This place is deceptively large and they've good a pretty extensive range. They host some really interesting author talks and I think they do stuff for kids too. Great local business that's been an active part of the community for many years.
