After arriving in Govan early for a hospital appointment, my wife and I decided to take a look around the shops and found this little gem. Honestly, I was astounded by the prices. Very good quality items at very low prices. The service was swift and professional. My only gripe would be that we didn't have enough time to explore the shop thoroughly, but next time we're through for the hospital we'll give ourselves a good hour so we can take our time. Outstanding. Show less

This is one of the wee second-hand shops it was a pleasure to discover where you never know what you'll find and will keep going back to. They sell just about everything and what they have changes from day to day. I keep going back for the 3 for a pound second-hand books, the Vinyl (albums and singl... Read more

They sell just about everything and what they have changes from day to day. I keep going back for the 3 for a pound second-hand books, the Vinyl (albums and singles), the Cassette tapes, the DVDs and Blu-ray but you just never know what you're going to find. Show less

This is the best charity store by a country mile. It's full of gems. Everything is priced well as you would expect and good quality some great old finds. It's for the local people not one of the HUGE chairty chains that over charge for everything. The staff are always very friendly and helpful. Espe... Read more

This is the best charity store by a country mile. It's full of gems. Everything is priced well as you would expect and good quality some great old finds. It's for the local people not one of the HUGE chairty chains that over charge for everything. The staff are always very friendly and helpful. Especially the girl with the red hair and the older woman who is in the antique store. The stores are split with higher end items one store and cheaper items in another. Would highly recommend. Happy browsing. Show less

One of the many hidden gems of Glasgow’s book world. Rock bottom prices, and a surprisingly excellent selection, as well as a decent pick of FREE books, many of which I’ve enjoyed. This shops is a relatively smaller one, yet despite this they always seem to have a great and most importantly changing supply of history, biography, classic, and fiction books, to name a few categories. This one has everything from poetry to politics, and everything in between. There isn’t a type of book you won’t find here, and at a shockingly low price as well. Paperback fiction is 3 for £1, whereas Waterstones commonly sells the exact same kind of books a £10 for one. Out of the dozens of secondhand bookshops I’ve been to in Glasgow this is by far the cheapest, though that speaks nothing of its other attributes. The staff are also really nice and the place has its own unique character. Show less
