Reviews

  • Laura Parsons

Lovely local bookshop, you can get a great range of adult books and lovely children's books. The staff are really helpful and give great recommendations as well. I am a fan. A brilliant Railton Road business.

This is a small expensive bookshop with the entitlement of an Amazon. I’d avoid both and shop locally from a bookshop that is more community minded and less arbitrary in its approach to operations

  • Oliver Gili

This is an excellent small bookshop. With helpful staff. When I say small, I actually mean tiny. When I say staff, I mean one bespectacled bloke. Doesn't take away from it's excellence though.

  • Jim Hill

The staff at this bookshop are very knowledgable and accommodating. It's a small shop but they will order in the book you're after if they don't have it in stock.

  • Graeme Wilson

Gem of a find - great bookshop with exceptionally helpful staff. Delighted with the couple of books I've purchased. I'll certainly be a returning customer.

  • martin kuzmicki

It's a local bookshop, it's small but we'll formed. Give Amazon & ebooks a rest (Bezos divorce fund well stocked already) & buy some lovely books here.

  • Thomas W

Fantastic little book shop. Ordering my books with them over the phone or in shop instead of Amazon; getting most orders within 1-2 working days

  • Laura Lane

I love this bookshop. Staff are always so helpful and friendly and can always advise and help to find a good book. My favourite local shop.

Shop owner kindly helped me arrange an out-of-hours collection of a book I purchased via Hive and had delivered to their shop. Very kind.

A little gem - despite its modest size it carries a great selection of classics and new releases.

Interesting selection of books and good gift cards. Rarely walk past and don’t buy something.
