The first glimpse of this sign made us turn around right away...
...and we found an amazing and really, really big second hand bookshop near Bath - and we loved it!Endless rows of shelves filled with thousands of books.... *sigh*
The Bookbarn is well organized, signposts everywhere and you can browse and lose yourself in there for hours on end. Many, many of the books in the shelves at the warehouse are £1 each and if you can't find the book you're looking for, you can use the computer and search for it. Then it will probably cost more than £1 but the prices are still reasonable and it doesn't take long for someone from the team to go and get the book for you.
And if you want to sit down and enjoy your new books or want to browse a bit more but need a little time to recuperate from your hunt, there's always the café with the free wi-fi. And of course - there's always another shelf to browse....
Needless to say that we didn't leave without some books but I was actually rather proud because I managed to buy not more than two books. Considering the number of books at the shop, I think that is almost heroic, isn't it?

I really enjoyed "hunting" for books at the Bookbarn!
But - Wales was waiting for us!
