Fantastic customer service! I went into the store in a mad rush for a last minute present and they were able to provide me with several options within the genre I was after.

A welcoming space to pause and reflect and indulge in more literary pursuits. It gives a platform for women that other bookshops might not hold. This is an independent bookshop..

I bought three eco-friendly bags as souvenirs of my trip. In addition to the bookstore eco-friendly bags, they also sold three other pretty bags. The staff were friendly, too. However, I was disappointed that there didn't seem to be many movie-related books.
