We popped into Barter Books in Alnwick. Wow!

The bookshop features open fires, the Station Buffet, ice cream parlour, model railway linking the book columns of the central room, poetry lines, three stunning 40-foot murals, many restored station features, plenty of seating, a brilliant children's room with toys and a whole huge room lined with over forty glass cases containing antiquarian books. And an amazing breadth of books on anything and everything. What a treasure!
