“What a joy to stumble across a bookshop packed with such diverse delights, and also to discover a rare fellow admirer of the brilliant yet neglected authors John Cowper Powys, Mary Webb and Richard Jefferies. How could I resist spending the last of my holiday money?! Thank you for providing the perfect ending to our trip to South Wales.“
“I just wanted to send my thanks for sending your Folio Society edition of Charlemagne so quickly! It was exactly as described; it is such a beautiful book and it made a great gift for my partner, all at a great price. Thanks!

“Thank you for an excellent book and service. I only wish I lived nearer the shop, and will certainly visit should I find myself in the area. The wonderful website was a bonus. Long may both the shop and online service continue.“
“I bought an esoteric title last year from Joanna’s wonderful bookshop as hers was the only bookshop (virtually in the world) stocking this rare Australian title. I could not buy it in Australia for some time, having searched for a couple of years. Finding it online and doing the deal via the internet was a ‘simple as’. Price was good too. Joanna has been terrific to deal with, and the recent friendly banter via email about a new book request has been delightful. If I get out to the UK I will be visiting her bookshop to say hello. Highly recommend to all.“
“Fantastic bookshop that we found entirely by accident on our first visit to Abergavenny – So glad we did as it has one of the best photography sections ever! We’ll definitely be back.“
“Quite the best bookshop I’ve ever visited. A wonderful and eclectic selection , and I was really pleased to find a little book I had illustrated many years ago and had only retained 1 copy. Joanna so kindly gave it to me. Broadleaf will be first on the list next time I’m in Abergavenny, yes, even before the Art Shop! Elizabeth June 8th 2013“
“Spending a weekend in Abergavenny my bookish friends suggested that Broadleaf was worth a visit. I am thrilled that such a gem exists – and I sincerely hope – thrives. Good, well ordered stock, no rubbish, sensible prices and delightful service – no that’s not an appropriate word – companionship and guidance from a proprietor who behaves like a trusted friend.“
“I was delighted to find a copy of ‘Man and Boy’ (Rattigan) and in such good condition. Many thanks.“
“I would happily give 11 out of 10.Really excellent experience, prompt, careful,personal and friendly service. Provided further information on request. My book arrived very quickly,carefully packaged and exactly as described. Highly recommended and would not hesitate to buy here again. Thank you“
“Thank you for your amazing customer service, kindness and for being so helpful. I hope one day to get to visit the shop in person!“
“A hidden cove in which secret treasures are to be found. I love getting lost in a world of nature and animals of all walks of life. Service is phenomenal. You walk in as a stranger and leave as a friend.A hidden cove in which secret treasures are to be found. I love getting lost in a world of nature and animals of all walks of life.

“I “met” Joanna Chambers several years ago when I bought, on-line, a beautiful, limited edition book of wood engravings by Russian artist Anatoli Kalashnikov. Finding much in common, Jo and I became pen pals and “virtual friends”. This past summer, my husband and I travelled to the UK and found our way to the charming little Welsh town of Abergavenny, where I meet Joanna personally and we became “real” pals! What an interesting, nice person and such a lovely bookshop. Whether you shop on-line or in person, you won’t be disappointed“
“A bookshop as bookshops should be (with that classic book scent that can’t be found anywhere else). One to lose yourself in and stumble upon something unexpected but wonderful, as has happened to me many times. Covering fact and fiction, new and old, and always a pleasure to venture into.
“Finally found it. Superb shop with good quality books, extensive collections including for me Wales, Art and Biography. Great proprietor. Well worth a detour.
“I was completely surprised today in Abergavenny to find a fantastic cookery section filled with classics, ethnographic cookbooks, food histories, natural and wild food, foraging – basically, so many gorgeous, interesting and well-priced books I had never seen. I could not resist buying three books, and wanted many more. I also left with a title in mind to look up on Amazon, and I told the proprietor this, and she so kindly found the best on-line price for me and matched it, so I bought a fourth one. AND she was really nice to my children who were embarrassingly misbehaved.
