A beautifully curated space that was fiercely inclusive. I loved the lgbt+ fantasy, horror, and mysteries. Staff were very helpful and gave advice on local places to escape the rain!

I visited on Thursday 13th November. It's a nice little bookshop, the staff member was so lovely as they was so chatty and friendly. There was a lot of stock available so had a lot of choice especially with the pins and stickers. The 2 dogs roaming the store. They was so beautiful, though one was very fussy for attention. If I wasn't busy doing other things I would have stayed there for hours with the dogs.

I’ve never walked into a shop/bookshop and felt south a warm and kind atmosphere. The books were played out in an easy to find and ordered fashion. My brother lives near by and I will be visiting him far more just so I can come here. The staff were awesome and I’m loving the book I bought. Thanks folks!
