Beautiful books, cds, tapes and LPs are all in plentiful supply here, and the staff are helpful. I love coming here and just browsing through. Oxfam books has quite a large selection of rare and old books, at a cheaper price than in an antiquarian book shop and for a much better cause.

I love the music section upstairs. You can buy records, cds, cassettes, scores, biogs. Loads of books and sheet music. The staff have a database of everything in the shop so they can help you find specific things.

There isa great selection and all the books are good quality. The prices are excellent and it's a lot easier to come here than go and get expensive books first hand when the quality is the same.

This shop sells a number of books which really are great quality. There is a large range, from children's books to adult's and they all retail at a great price. If you are looking for some cheap second hand books then check out Oxfam books.

I absolutely love Oxfam books, there is a range of stunning old books which I pretty much want to buy all of. They are old and beautiful and wonderful. Not only are they a good read but they look fantastic on the shelf. There are also some great CDs. Oxfam books is so unique; you wouldn't find this kind of stuff many other places. And then there's the added bonus of the money you pay going to a good cause.

Recently refurbished and a tiny bit expensive, but worth it as the quality of the shop is superior to most charity shops. They sell records, tapes and CDs as well as the good selection of books - whoever chooses them or sorts them knows what they're doing, because unusual as well as classic classics turn up more than often.

A little expensive in the way of second hand books for my liking, but it does all go to a good cause so I thoroughly recommend shopping in there.

2 floors of second hand books, cds, videos, dvds, music scores, records and anything like maps or revision guides. The staff are all volunteers and very friendly. They are also really into books and can recomend some good ones. Also all the money goes to charity.
