Second hand SciFi bookshops in the UK

[CallCashmere]

Hi people,

I love finding second hand vintage sci-fi books and have had great success in Oxfam bookshops but I’m desperate to find more!!

Could I get some recommendations of independent second hand bookshops that specialise in sci-fi/have a great sci-fi collection please? It can be anywhere in the UK.

Thanks a lot!

I run one (new and used) with a lovely collection of vintage sci fi recently brought in. The downside is it’s in Northern Ireland but here’s the Facebook page for the craic. The Secret Bookshelf

Hmm there's a great indie bookshop in my town (Letchworth) with an entire floor for second-hand books I've never ventured into. Must take a look and report back next time I'm there.

There's vast troves of used SF in the bookshops of Hay-on-Wye. Enough for a few days of browsing.
Start with the Cinema Bookshop (it's in an old cinema), the basement of Richard Booth's bookshop, the Castle (if it is open) or any one of half a dozen smaller bookshops in the town.

Also Wigtown in Scotland - another book town worth a visit.

There’s a good one in Alnwick too, and a fab one we love at The Gatehouse of Fleet
