But so crowded with books that it's difficult to see anything and one is always afraid of tipping over a pile of books
Secondhand bookshops like this are a rarity these days. Thirty years ago there were four or five of this calibre in Sheffield, but the Porter Bookshop seems to be all there is in the city today.What makes it special is the quality and range of the books. Every shelf is literally overflowing with interesting and valuable titles, including a large of selection of used paperback classics, rare local history books and early collectible editions of works of both fiction and non-fiction.The shop is very small which means there is a certain degree of chaos, with boxes and piles of books balanced haphazzardly everywhere. I can spend hours digging through all these and a lot more money!Worth a trip to Sheffield for!
Charming little book shop, reminiscent of Rare and Racy but without corporate overlords crushing the life out of it! A special place that deserves a look. Does comics as well has a decent paper back and supports independent musicians trying to promote themselves for a very reasonable price.
Lovely little shop. They have so many interesting books. I did not find the one I was looking for but my friend found some amazing comics.
It's a great, old fashioned style book shop - you can get lost very pleasantly for hours. The chap that runs it is totally bonkers but who would want it any other way?
