Lovely selection of well curated books (and indeed added bits such as cards and curios to make an easier selection for both yourself, but also a book-loving friend).

I needed a postcard and I got it! Saved me a trip to a shopping center. Not sure what the unique selling point of the place is: the range of books and postcards is not that wide. Perhaps its the paper and associated crafts and tooling. Parking is non-existent. But then the assumed clientele - school kids and uni students - move around the area on foot...

Fantastic bookshop. Everything you want a bookshop experience to be (but won't find at a large chain bookshop). The team are always very friendly and eager to give book suggestions if you're looking for a gift. I would really recommend the book subscription service, where they choose a book for you based on your interests. It's always exciting to pick up the new book of the month. Well worth a visit!
