Lovely selection of books! Found a few I liked, and my partner bought a book we haven’t seen anywhere else. Will be back again next time in Bristol.

A fantastic bookshop. They have got an excellent range of books including books from small independent publishers that you just can't find in other shops. The selection available here has clearly been put together by someone who loves books and understands their worth.

A lovely little independent bookshop on Gloucester Road. The name gives away the location! I found it on the May 2023 Bristol Bookshop crawl which was a great way to find some new bookshops. There is an area with books for children and young adults. There is a good mix of fiction and nonfiction and I had difficulty in limiting myself to only buying one book. With so many eclectic independent shops, Gloucester Road is a great place for a wander and browse.
