Undercover Books seems to have moved steadily upwards in the few years it has been going. I visited recently for the first time in over a year, and the place has excellent stock - classic fiction, modernism, Kafka, etc. I was impressed by the holdings in crime fiction and a focus on 1960s rebellious writing, plus theatre (Bertolt Brecht et al) and cultural theory (Raymond Williams). There are also vintage pamphlets, posters, comics, visual materials ... I could have browsed for an hour or two!
Apart from Ellis Books I am not currently aware of a better selection of such material in the Norwich area, following the closure of other good second-hand outlets in recent years. So I hope that Undercover Books continues to thrive and grow, as it seems to be filling a particular niche very well.
