Can I get Music books?

I play the piano and do have a nice collection of music but Fox's who I used to buy my scores from have closed down.

Finding it difficult to actually find shops I can visit to buy.

I don't buy stuff online these days and free scores are available but limited.

I visit Leicester and Birmingham a lot. Anyone know of music shops?

Yes, it's about music.

Have seen them occasionally in second-hand book shops and if you're very lucky charity shops.

Car boot sales and charity shops - people regularly throw out music because they can’t play it.

Have you tried facebook market place or gumtree, freegle etc. May find someone clearing a departed relative's home or de-cluttering. Assuming you can travel to collect.

Try Hobgoblin, 40 Priory Queensway, Birmingham, West Midlands, B4 7LA

As already said, charity shops can be good, some Oxfam ones have v good sheet music sections. If you know a specific piece or book you're looking for, then Ebay or Amazon.

I'm personally trying not to use Amazon these days, but will use it to browse for things I may want and with books, you can often preview a few pages; I then look for the same item elsewhere. And particularly if it's a reseller using Amazon as a platform, I'll see if the reseller has their own website that I can buy from.

What sort of genre of music are you looking for?

Thank you all.

Basically, I tend to play classical music followed by musicals, shows and music from the 30s to 60s

Thanks everyone. As I said in my original opening post, I don't buy off the Internet due to certain reasons, but shall certainly take up the advice.

There are loads of free sheet music apps online for piano.

You can get the sheet music for almost any song you want in the click of a button

Pawn shops can also be an interesting treasure trove.

Also, Amnesty International charity bookshops tend to have good stock.

You say you're regularly in Leicester and Birmingham, have a look on Google maps for charity shops, at least you'll find out where they're clustered and you can hit a load at once.

Clearance auctions can also throw up interesting collections.
