Ystwyth Books

So many books and wonderful, friendly and helpful staff. I was looking for a very specific book and they went out of their way to find it for me; wonderful service.

This is like a Diagon Alley bookshop. Its rickety in the most interesting way, it has incredibly old books plus new signed books. My son just grabs an empty box when he visits as he always finds do much to interest him. There are so many different rooms and books on any subject you can think of. Wonderful

How a book shop should be!
Lots of local books.
I could spend way too much time and money in here!
Helpful staff too.

Best Bookshop in the world, looking forward to come back one day!

Favourite bookshop ever. Huge selection in upstairs section. Quiet, restful place for the true bibliophile.

This shop is amazing. I know you might be thinking, "but I know a book store, it was pretty good..." it doesn't have anything on this place. It had all the charming traits of a good book store 1) floor to ceiling books 2)books covering every possible surface 3)books on every possible subject 4) looks like it was someone's house before it overflowed with so many books that they had to start selling them to make room for more books 5) a knowledgeable man who seemed to have an acute knowledge of the obscure field that your looking for and more importantly, where the books you need are 6) it smells like books 7) very very reasonably priced, not that this matters as anyone who is a book lover knows, low prices just means you end up buying more. Really recommend!

One of the best. Huge selection. Excellent natural history section with the latest titles and many older books. A helpful and knowledgeable owner. A delight to visit. Very difficult not to leave without buying.

This bookshop is part of the fabric of the town, yet still there are those who have lived here for decades and don't know of it. A massive array of books of all shapes, sizes and - most importantly - ages. Every nook and cranny seems to have an old (and sometimes dusty) book.

An excellent bookshop with countless books on everything in English and Welsh, and a few floor-to-ceiling shelves of foreign-language books including ones in Irish and Breton. A lovely place to get lost in

Probably one of the most satisfying book shops you have been to. It is absolutely beautiful inside with a very old school aesthetic and a lot little personal touch that almost feels like you are walking in their home 😍

An excellent collection of books in very good condition, if you are looking for a book and he doesn't have it then he will give you a good recommendation for the best local store to visit.

Not many bookshops are worthy of five stars, this place is phenomenal. Books on almost anything. From interesting little £1 pieces to very rare and highly collectable.
Definitely coming back.

A real treasure trove of old books with informative helpful staff. You could spend hours just browsing the books!

Beautiful old timey book shop, new and old books stacked up high, knowledgeable staff are friendly and very helpful! My go-to bookshop in Aber!

If your a book lover you'll love this shop. It's a bit of a mess but that just means you get to spend more time searching through books, new and old

Excellent postal service through Abebooks.co.uk. Book as described in as new condition and received within a few days of order. Would certainly use again

Cosy cluttered bookshop, full of discoveries to be made. If you like to rummage in bookshops with shelves to the ceiling and higgledy-piggledy piles of books on a range of subjects, this is the place for you.

This is what I think of as a proper second hand bookshop. Really well stocked and organised. Has a large Welsh and Celtic language section.

Great shop, lots of interesting books

Ystwyth Books in Aberystwyth, Wales is a very good place to buy books.
