What do you do if your prized book collection clashes with the bookshelf it is sitting on? This dusty little shop has the answer to that (admittedly unlikely) dilemma as it doubles as an antique furniture seller and a vintage bookstore. The range of books is limited, but includes cookery books, sporting books and old Biggles hardcovers (a once popular British series of children's books). The furniture on offer includes colonial period pieces such as chests of drawers, chairs and dressers. The shop is also licensed to deal in second-hand goods and can buy your old books or furniture.
