I discovered a place called Sedbergh (http://www.sedbergh.org.uk/) last week on holiday, which is marketing itself as a book town like Hay.

Westwood books had a good collection of children's books - no EBD in last week, but the woman did say that they get some which tend to sell quickly.

The Bookseller had in a few CS paperbacks, and a decent collection of other GO hardbacks.

I don't know if I'm allowed to put details of a bookshop on here, but I see Rose's Books, Hay-on-Wye is already listed above; I have the address and internet details if anyone wants to know. Thanks.

Of course you are allowed and most definitely yes please

There's a fab second-hand bookshop in Cromer, on the Norfolk coast, in the street on the same side and a bit further down from the Church of St Peter and St Paul - the biggest church in the centre! - but unfortunately I can't remember the name. Grrrr. I got paperbacks of Feud and New Mistress but there were others and some hbs - Highland Twins among them. Does anyone know what I'm talking about - have the name or live nearby? I'd definitely reccommend it, haven't got time to google it now to check details. *Unhelpfully trying to be helpful!*

Rose's Books
(Steve & Maria Goddard)
Specialists in Rare and Out-Of-Print Children's and Illustrated Books
14 Broad Street, Hay-on-Wye, HR3 5DB
Tel: 01497 820013. Fax: 01497 820031
Web: www.rosesbooks.com. Email: enquiry@rosesbooks.com

They had the illustrated books behind LOCKED glass units and they looked really good. I didn't ask to look at them, so I wouldn't like to be quoted on this but I should imagine they're late 1800s/early 1900s, the sort of books "children only looked at on a Sunday afternoon" (I think I've heard this quoted in other children's stories before now).

Whoever happens to live near this shop is in for a treat.

I was in Hay-on-Wye at Easter, escaped from the rest of the people I was with and spent a looooooooong time lusting over those books in Rose's Books.

Ended up having a fab conversation with a lady who must have been about 80 about CS books and KM Peyton

I think I prefer the The Children's Bookshop just down the road from Hay-on-Wye though. Teensy bit more affordable and the woman who owns it is lovely.

I was at Hay-On-Wye at easter toooooooooo, just staring longingly at all those lovely hardbacks...

Australia- Victoria

Read Healer bookshop Echuca (about 3 hrs drive nth of Melbourne)
Old Bakery bookshop, Warrandyte, (outer melb suburb)

In Melbourne CBD there are at least 3

I've found GO books occasionally in most of the shops on the booklovers' trail in Central Victoria. The bookshops are:

Woodend Secondhand Bookshop 104 High St (03) 5427 2151
Kyneton Provender 30 Piper St, Kyneton (03) 5422 3745
Book Now 1 Farmers Lane, Bendigo (03) 5443 8587
Stoneman’s Bookroom 101 Mostyn St, Castlemaine (03) 5470 5134
Soldier & Scholar 215 Barker St, Castlemaine (03) 5470 6298
Smith’s Country Bazaar Book Heaven 47 Main Road, Campbells Creek (03) 5472 4555
Lake Daylesford Book Barn 1 Leggatt St, Daylesford (03) 5348 3048
Avant Garden Bookshop 46 Vincent St, Daylesford (03) 5348 1288
Buninyong Books 410 Warrenheip St, Buninyong (03) 5341 3080
Wendouree Books 103 Sturt St, Ballarat (03) 5332 8960

Which shops had all these lovely hardbacks? I was there about 6 weeks ago and only found two shops with any hardbacks (or even paperbacks, for that matter) and then only around half a dozen each.

It's a while since I was there - but I found lots of hardbacks in:

Rose's Books (very expensive)

The Children's Bookshop - which is just outside Hay and is marginally less expensive and very very friendly

Ah, that would explain it. I wasn't very well the day I went and apparently stopped just short of discovering Rose's Books (so someone was telling me the other day). Must try again.

www.greenmetropolis.com - UK only, all books £3.75, and quite good for selling your own things.
Also, I discovered www.bookmooch.com, which is a bookswapping site and is worldwide, and I think it's really good.
Oh, and www.swapshop.co.uk - swapping of books, cds, games and dvds. UK only.

Hope it's okay for me to add these? If not, please delete.

I adore The Children's Bookshop. The lady that runs it is wonderful, we were in there for ages nattering to her.

To add to Dawn's list, I noticed a few of the bookshops had paperbacks and there were quite a few EBD hardbacks in one of the bookshops opposite the castle. I don't remember the name of the shop but it had quite a lot of CS hardbacks in the window which were pretty reasonably priced and some extremely expensive ones in the glass cases inside ( nearly £400 for a first edition of Fardingales )

It's becoming more and more apparent that I'm going to have to go back an explore further!

Has anyone got an address for The Children's Bookshop? Hoping to go to Hay-on-Wye in November .

Alison, their website is www.childrensbookshop.com/index.shtml

It's on the road just outside Hay-on-Wye. Lovely, lovely shop. I may be going back there myself in November if I ever decide on the location for my holiday.

Thank you .

One of my ex-pupils, Chris Harding, is now working part-time as a book dealer. He is hoping to branch out from TV books into children's lit, especially GO.

Give him a bit of time to sort himself out, then text on 07788 554758.
