In a number of posts I have mentioned Barter Books, a second hand book store in Alnwick with a difference. Not only do they have a huge array of second hand books but they offer a ‘credit’ service whereby you bring your old books in exchange for credit to spend in store. I go up every couple of months or so and I am rarely disappointed with what I come home with. There is also no guilt that comes along with it as I’m not spending any cash! I also think the place is beautiful and with a cafe there you can easily spend a whole morning or afternoon browsing the shelves. Last time I went I took a few pictures with the intention of sharing on here so here it goes!

Hi Sophie – we visited Barter Books when we were on holiday in the area a few years ago. Wonderful place. I loved the open fire where you can sit and read. You’re very lucky to live close by 🙂

Hi,
It’s lovely isn’t it, I live around 45 minutes away so try and pop up quite regularly. Really good book shops seem to be few and far between now!
