Frommers describes it as among the best Uni bookstores west of Oxford. After entering the main building walk just past the ascending stone stairwell on left, bookstore is on basement level.

Excellent selection of books . Scholarly works and serious literature, poetry, philosophy, and history are well represented. The theology section is wanting, especially compared to Powell's. Expensive.

Books . Endless row upon row of books . You will duck pipes, dodge faucets, and squeeze between shelves and working furnaces, and you will love every minute of it. Read more

I always find things I didn't know I was looking for. Oh and the Marxism section is amazing.
