If there is a better way for a true book lover to spend their time than taking a drive through the Dales to Westwood Books, then I don't know what that is. A reader's paradise.

Large and excellent bookshop

Bill Bryson, Author

As I'm about to enter Westwood Books, I feel certain I will not leave empty handed. Only a small number of second-hand bookshops make me feel this. They're the best ones and it must be down to the curatorial nous and good taste of the owners, managers and/or staff.
