Cutest bookstore ! Had a lot of harder to find books , and such a nice guy working there. Also open really late which is awesome.

Simon J Green

A lovely little place with the big names in authorship covered. A very small sci-fi section. Generally, only go for fairly common authors of fiction, but also for a broad range of non-fiction.

Quite messy, but the intelligent selections of books , and staff seem knowledgable about the titles
