An excellently curated bookshop. Every time I've been in I've been in I've left with books I'd ever heard of but was sure I'd enjoy. Shops like this, where the owner clearly has a passion for and knowledge of what they sell, are the cure to the bland chain store filled high streets that are trying to race to the bottom in order to compete with online stores.

LOVELY little place, beautiful. Such a calm atmosphere inside, and quite minimalist which I appreciate - I get too overwhelmed by choice in mainstream bookshops. The genre selection is excellent. It's rare to find a whole section on Weird Fiction, Palestine, other current political and social issues, and of course some classics. You won't be stuck for ideas of what to read next! Staff are lovely and have great recommendations too :D

Great new bookshop on Old Market. Welcoming and knowledgeable owners. A very interesting array of books, as well as essays, magazines, and a really lovely selection of poetry too. All beautifully displayed with a set up to sit down and have a relaxed look through.
