Thirty years ago this sleepy border town was a quiet backwater. Now it is the internationally famous 'town of books'.
Shopping here is a special pleasure.
There are over 30 bookshops, selling everything from antiquarian tomes to cut-price new books. In the wake of the bookshops have come many other retailers selling antiques, old maps, crafts and even teddy bears. All rights reserved. All material on this site is copyright of the Wales Tourist Board.
