I went to Hay-on-Wye today.

One of the shops had a chocolate-scented calculator in the shape of a slab of the brown stuff, like this:

It might make aithmetic more fun.

I've often thought about going to Hay-on-Wye but not got round to it.

Is it worth visiting, or is it a tourist trap? Looking at the various shops' websites, the stock looks overpriced - but maybe it's better in real life (when the Festival isn't happening).

There are certainly lots of nice second-hand bookshops. And the countryside around there is lovely.

But if I want a particular second-hand book, abebooks is a lot more convenient, and has more stock than the whole of Hay-on-Wye.

And I agree that the stock in Hay-on-Wye is probably a little overpriced. OTOH, you do get to inspect the book before purchase.

I agree with pdurrant about Hay.
There are also some antiques shops and craft shops that are nice. The book prices are a little high.
