The Bookcase











Living on the west side of Newcastle I visit Carlisle quite frequently and my first point of call is always “The Bookcase” on Castle Street. Aside from the huge selection of second-hand books over several floors and at least two interconnected buildings the main attraction is the vast number of second-hand jazz albums both on CD and vinyl.
I have no idea how many there are but every style and artist involved in Jazz seems to be represented. Everything is indexed so if you are looking for “Big Band Music” say or “Sonny Rollins” there it is. So much better than buying blind off the web! The pictures give a better idea but don’t really do it justice.
Well worth a trip along the A69!
