You could try The Porter Bookshop on sharrowvale road. Its a second hand bookshop but all of the books are good quality and a decent price. I know this because my Dad used to own it. He founded it years ago but unfortunately he passed away a few years ago so he passed the business onto someone else. As far as I know it is still going and they always had some quirky books about all sorts. Its worth a shot.

Is Don Alexanders still on Ecclesall Road? He used to do all things Sheffield.
Theres also a printers on Shalesmoor that sold the 'Whers me mam' and Wheres me dad' books (think they spell Where differently in the title tho), I'll see if I can find the name, its next to the 'Ship Inn' pub

There is a stall that sells Sheffield books at Nether Edge Farmers' Market, though the next one isn't until the end of March. Worth a look if you remember and can go there.
