ABA Bookshops

Not as many bookshops as one might expect in such a traditional seat of culture and learning - but here, from the border town of Hay-on-Wye across to the seaside delights of Llandudno, are three hidden gems. Among the best bookshops in the British Isles - among the best bookshops in the world.
