Madoc Books is a small family antiquarian bookshop at 5 Madoc Street, a short walk from Llandudno railway station, run by Patrick Elliott. The shop specialises in rare and secondhand books with a strong Welsh-interest list, alongside history, travel, topography, private press editions and works on Lewis Carroll. Elliott holds membership of the Antiquarian Booksellers' Association, the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers, the PBFA, IOBA and the Welsh Booksellers' Association, reflecting the shop's standing among specialist trade bodies. Stock is catalogued and sold both from the shop and through online booksellers' platforms such as Biblio and AbeBooks. The premises opens to browsers on Friday mornings and Saturdays, with other days available by prior arrangement, suiting collectors making a special trip. New arrivals are regularly listed by subject, from London maps and views to reference works, giving regular customers reason to check back.
