Gosford Books is probably one of the best second hand bookshops remaining in the UK. Second hand bookshops were once a place where you could go to browse, meet friends, discover something you had never seen before, and meet people interested in authors and their work. Bookshops were once a critical public sphere - one which has now been taken from us by the corporations like Amazon, where buying books has been reduced to the financial transaction pure and simple. Disregard the negative comments from some readers in this thread - the owner of this shop is genuine auto-didact who cares passionately about books and the words and ideas that are in them. He loves what he does, but plies his trade paying zero no attention to the obsequious standards of corporate hospitality that has taken over our society. If love books, either for the ideas that they contain in them, or the beauty of the writing they contain, or as a sources of enjoyment and pleasure in themselves, this magnificent bookshop is the perfect reminder of a wonderful world of bookshops, now tragically disappeared.

When does this shop open?? I've not yet been able to look inside, much less purchase anything as it's always locked whenever I visit. Owner should be clear about the opening times!!

Popped into Gosford Books today - the same Gosford Books I used to buy my A level English texts from 30+ years ago. The place is still magnificent; there is a mountain of books with a huge diverse mix of content and the owner is engaging and hugely knowledgeable. I bought Orwell's Down and Out in Paris and London today, maybe 35 years after buying it here first time which I think shows enduring quality.
The comment in another review about rules of the shop is deeply misguided - if you want to go to a bookshop to be on your phone, don't bother going; Gosford Books is for book enthusiasts, who can be offline and still function. If the owner wants to set down his rules that is up to him, it is not obligatory to visit. Perhaps instead of griping about being asked to not use mobiles, we might reflect on the great service to the people of Coventry the owner has provided for more than four decades!
Going back soon as would any book lover lucky enough to discover one of Coventry's understated gems.

Excellent secondhand bookshop. Proper ‘don’t give a sod’ owner, fantastic selection of books and a privilege to be given access. Best book-buying experience I’ve had for many a year. Long may the shop continue!!!

A gem. Understated & exciting at the same time- you’re surrounded by books as soon as you walk in. Could browse here for ages - such diverse collections, have never come away empty-handed! The owner is knowledgable and lets you browse to your heart’s content, just how bookstores used to be. A rare analog beauty in a digital world. Have been coming here for the last 10 years - and hope to for many more.

First impressions are that the bookshop is dingy and the book dealer somewhat taciturn but if you have the time and patience to look through carefully there are bargains to be had. Like any local book shop how well you do depends on who was there before and what collections have been bought since your last visit. A shop that is firmly pinned onto my book hunting map.

An excellent second hand bookshop in the traditional style, tucked away in the city centre. One of the delights of places like this is to browse around and discover stuff you would have never looked for. A gem. Plenty of nooks and corners. The owner gets it - notices of injunctions against using mobile phones for whatever reason - even book research (the point being that you've got to be immersed in the place and its opportunities, not distracted by instant fixes to predefined channels fo thinking)

Ive been buying books at gosford books for around 15-20 years! If you like a place to go and browse to find a range of books, i know nowhere better. No pressure is put on you to buy,although the prices are very keen. I usually find what im looking for and plenty im not... support your independent retailers, pop down and buy yourself something decent to read! As for the rules in the shop, be respectful and have your phone on silent. Just enjoy being around great books and take the time to develop your library collection. I hope to shop there for many more years! I would give it a 10 if I could.

This is an excellent book shop, would definitely recommend a visit, it’s a truly astounding feeling walking into this shop feeling like you are literally under a mountain of books!
Walked away with two good books for less than £8 which would have easily cost much more from online retailers.
A huge selection of older books some being very rare to come across.
Will definitely be re-visiting on a regular basis!
