This place is a rare find!! The best of the best in literature is all you will find at Toad Hall. The owners are careful curators of their store; leaving this book girl in awe of their selection. I found a pristine copy of Miss Masham’s Repose by T. H. White and an excellent copy of Parnassus on Wheels. Having just went to the book town, Hay on Wye in Wales, we were impressed to see that King Richard of Hay on Wye had visited the store. My husband being retired Navy, greatly appreciated their sign on the front of the store defending the American flag; I was impressed by the owner’s vast knowledge of truly great books.

Their book store name was inspired by the book The Wind in the Willows and they have toads scattered around in the shop. ?

This store is so cool. I know there is something mysterious going on here, I just haven't figured it out yet. Very charming book store, something you would see in a movie. This is a must-stop for any book aficionado! Plenty of books to peruse. Escape the hustle and bustle of the daily grind and get lost in a good book! Can't wait to come back and visit!

Toad Hall has everything I want in a used bookstore: an abundance of books dating from recent publications back to the 19th century (many of which are out of print), a surprise around every corner, a knowledgeable staff, and a peaceful environment without noisy kids, people on their phones, etc. Every time I've visited I've left with a stack of treasures. Contrary to what some people have written, I have always found the fellow behind the counter to be helpful and even affable. As for people complaining about the cash-only policy: it's hard enough for used bookstores to survive without also having to give up card vendor fees and losing a percentage on every sale. If you're so keen on recent technology, why don't you just download whatever nonsense it is you want to read onto your Kindle, and leave the used bookstores to customers who appreciate them for what they are?

Scattered. Unorganized. No credit. Lots of rare books though. Just not worth goin out of your way to come here.

A wonderful secondhand bookstore. Small space crammed with books, but all the better! Specializes in Scotland.
