One day in easter when I was home from Leeds I decided to visit Barter Books in Alnwick. Barter Books is a old train station converted into a second hand book shop. The Shop has its own cosy and friendly identity. There are fireplaces to sit and read by and dogs are allowed in. I love this shop due to its originality and traditional feel. There is hand painted type all around the place used to write quotes and sections of books. I love the traditional but homely feel this gives. I also like to look at the old book covers and collections some of which are worth hundreds of pounds and are kept behind glass. I find Barter Books is a place I can go to be inspired by book design and helps me see that there is a future to printed books and that books are loved know matter how old.
