- Review by Jenny Gould
I walked around this shop ooinng and ahing for about an hour when I first visited. It would also be possible, I'm sure to find parking somewhere nearby, to offload serious sums of money and get books back without breaking your back- I was limited by what I could carry as at 2-3 pounds each sense lost out to the desire for brilliant books - Review by Jenny Gould
A reasonable sized shop stuffed full of good condition second-hand books at a fair price. Recommended as one of the best selections of second-hand SF in the country, and I can believe it. A great shop not only for second-hand SF but also for SF-Collectors. They regularly print a catalogue on vintage stuff and do know most everything about the genre. They will post books worldwide - Map Coords of The Fantasy Centre: 51.549573N, -0.108671W
