Helpful staff and very lovely vibes (&great children’s selection). I ordered books with them and they arrived a day early, would recommend :) check out their events as well, they have very cool talks and book signings one of which I got to attend and really loved.
Really amazing cute local bookshop, good for you to pop in and pick a book. Really extensive kids section, my child had a really really good time. I wood really suggest visiting, especially kids section. Also offers Agatha Christie books, which are not very common in Edinburgh for some reason. I usually can’t get my hands on them.
Fabulous indie bookshop with a great range of books and friendly, knowledgeable staff. Venue for lots of good book events too.
Lovely book shop! Wide range of titles, lots of progressive themes and authors on display, which is lovely to see. I bought 2 books from the women's health section, and I'm very excited to read them when I get home! There were so many good options, I could've spent much longer browsing if it weren't for the parking restrictions! (Obviously not the book shops fault though!) I did have some anxiety about the books higher up, as there were a few on Palestine that I wanted to browse, but wasn't sure if the step stools were for customer use, and didn't want to interrupt the man who was talking behind the till. Overall nice experience! Would love to come back soon :)
Lovely bookshop with a very diverse selection of books, amazing kids section too.
