If you go down to the Bristol Book Barn today, you're in for a big surprise.
Well, not that big - it's closed on Sunday. But from Monday you could pick up a free book! Or twelve.
After the lease on their massive warehouse expired last week, staff at the Bristol Book Barn opened their doors to the public and invited shoppers to help themselves to their entire stock - some five million titles.
Shoppers flooded in, loading up bags, boxes and even vans they drove straight into the building. The shelves that line the walls were emptied onto the floor, which turned into a heaving mass of hardbacks and paperbacks.
So if you can stomach the idea of battling crazed consumers and sorting through a heaving sea of paper (think of Primark on a Saturday), then head down to The Book Barn, Bath Road, Bristol BS4 3EH. Assuming they don't run out of books, the giveaway will end on Friday 6th March at 4pm.
This Book Barn giveaway is not connected to Book Barn International.
