Inside the Wallingford home of four million second-hand books

Awesome Books in Wallingford is home to more than four million second-hand books.

Set up in 2003 by brothers Mubin and Taskeen Ahmed to save books from being pulped, every day they receive 300,000 books which are resold around the world.

They also donate 100,000 books every month to literacy programmes in the UK and overseas.

In 2021 they were approached by artist David Shrigley to supply 6,000 copies of Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code.
