If you enjoy your first visit, it may be worth coming back another day as well, because they don’t have room to put all the books out at once, so as some sell, they’ll get more out.
Our 14th sale, and maybe the last ever!
We have every non-fiction subject under the sun, including a good local section. Our fiction includes: modern, classic, unusual, crime and science fiction. There are all kinds of books for children. Our collectable books are at lower prices than on-line. There’s also the odd really weird book that you wouldn’t believe could or maybe should exist.
LOW PRICES from 10p.
You are invited to bring a tin of vegetarian food for Netherfield Food Bank.

We have to print this in advance, so can’t predict the situation at booksale time. We want to keep everyone safe.
