Advantages: good for books and art and craft supplies

Disadvantages: there can be junk in here sometimes

I really like having a rumage through this shop and usually I do buy something. They stock lots of products mainly books and arts and craft supply items but sometimes they will have games and gifts.
There is a wide range of books they have a huge range of £1.99 books and these are on offer for 3 for £5 which for buying new books is very cheap. Most of there books aren't in the charts when they stock them but would have been in the last year or so so they are best selling books and authours but just a bit late. They also sell quite a wide range of biographies a fact books many on animals cars and history. Though some of the larger hardback books can be about £8 to £10 it is still a lot of the RRP. It is also excellent for cookery books but I don't really bother with this section.

They also have a range of childrens books from all ages feel the book types to young teenage stories. Again these are all at good prices.

The also stock stationary they have good reductions on well known brands such as parker and papermate but obviously these may vary from store to store. They have a big range of Disney Princess stationary which I love even though I am probably a bit too old for pink fluffy pens.

Another type of product is art and craft supplies. They sell lots of paints, brushes and canvases and also books on how to paint or types of art. They also sell materials for cardmaking and scrapbook making the range isn't huge but if you are just starting out of fancied trying it you can pick up a set for only 99p.

They occasionally have special deals on cushions or photoframes these don't happen very often so they must just buy a job lot and sell them off cheaply.

I would recommend going for a browse around this shop it does have some junk in it but there are also a lot of bargains to be found. Quite suprisingly the shops I have been to are quite tidy considering how much stock they have and staff are polite and will help if you ask them.

Summary: worth looking around
