Broadleaf Books is a second-hand bookshop at 16 Monk Street in Abergavenny, a short walk from the town's main shopping streets. The stock is deliberately wide-ranging, spread across more than thirty sections, with particular depth in art, photography, architecture, history and countryside subjects. It trades as an independent shop, buying and selling used and antiquarian titles rather than new stock, and books can also be found through its online listings. Opening is limited to four days a week, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, from 10am to 4pm, which suits browsers happy to spend time among the shelves. It is the kind of general second-hand bookshop that has grown scarce in market towns, run by owners who know their stock, and it remains a single, independent site with no other branches in the region.
