Book shops - Bath area
I'm going to Bath in a few weeks for a holiday. Can anyone recommend a good second hand book shop in that area please?

What a great destination, Katharine! Bath is one of my favourite places in the UK — it's the most beautiful city I've ever seen anywhere.
I know I've definitely been to Bath Old Books and found it well worth the visit — they don't have a website of their own, but I found this listing on another site:

It was a nuisance. An adventure was one thing - but an adventure without anything to eat was quite another thing. That wouldn't do at all. (The Valley of Adventure)

I have not been to Bath for several years, but I used to go quite often as there were a number of secondhand bookshops there, I am not sure how many are still in business. There were also one or two good markets which had book stalls in them.
