There are 2 Welsh book shops in Llanrwst:

    Llyfrau Berry Books.[/li]

Both are very good. Berry Books also has a lot of second hand books as well. Also, if you ask him to look out for a particular book he will.

There is also a good one in Aberystwyth, can't remember the name now.

Mum bought her bible in a second hand book shop in Llandudno. Its on this site:

There are a few for sale on ebay, just type Welsh bible into search. 

Also Charity shops if your in Wales are a good bet.
