WOW - this place is just amazing.
Ben was amazingly helpful.
I bought a couple of cool books, but could have bought a shed-load more.

Phenomenal. This is a wonderful book shop and hot bed of Zine activity.
I was delighted by the quantity of really good books in such a small space, obviously curated for the literary minded, bibliophiles and book geeks, from dust jacketed penguins to ace doubles, all the best type of works, for the inquisitive and book hunter alike, it's a well stocked shop.
Further delight was Peter who runs the show, quietly working away keeping shelves filled, but when I asked for a given author, knew where they were immediately.
The zine selection here is astounding with two walls and a number of display stands just for Zines.
Picked up The Books Review of Books and was impressed, a cracking read.
Open at selected times Thursday to the weekend - it's wonderful.

Looking through the stacks and stacks of books in no particular order was very pleasant. The whole place radiated a love of literature and creativity. An authentic experience not often found.

The shelves aren't organised, but I've realised later that I prefer it that way because you start paying attention to books you wouldn't normally look for.
