Occupying a “magnificent old Victorian railway station”, in the heart of Northumberland, Barter Books has over 400,000 volumes on its shelves, and has been a focal point for artists, linguists and literature enthusiasts since 1991.
In an age of aggressive high street sales techniques, combined with radical changes in the way people digest literature via electronic devices, Barter Books offers a haven from unabated 21st Century consumerism.

The bookshop was opened in 1991, by Mary Manley and her husband Stewart, and was inspired by a summer Mary spent in an antiquarian bookshop in New York.
