  • Hmmm.... very first post, extremely unlikely story, inviting unknown numbers of strangers to enter a shop and walk off with books....


    I would take this post with a HUGE pinch of salt.


    It may even be malicious. Moderators?

    I thought the Book Barn had gone ages ago, there are no signs for it any more.

  • It is true, if the Bristol Netmums noticeboard is to be believed.
  • Definitly true as went down yesterday and came back with loads of free books. There were lots of books and i could have spent all day collecting them if I had time. Rich

  • My apologies for doubting, Fairyfly - it sounded so unlikely!

    Even companies that have gone bust have administrators trying to raise what they can on whatever remains...perhaps the administrators think the books left have no resale value. What a sign of the times!
  • Is the book barn open today? Does anyone have the address for it, is it the one listed on their contact us page?

    The one on their contact us page is in somerset. They also have one according to the website in Bristol, but sadly no address. I have just looked as well.
