What an absolute gem. Every town should have one of these. Spent a happy hour or so with my children browsing the bargain section, came out with 7 books for under 20 pounds and then head excellent coffee and cake in the cafe!

A truly fantastic bookshop with new and secondhand books for all ages and older possibly collectable books on upper floor, also cards for all occasions, a large music section and coffee shop.
And above all very friendly and helpful staff.😊👍

An exquisite bookshop with cafe and adjoining music shop. A real gem of a place where one can explore new and second hand books for hours!

Oh my goodness. What an absolute gem! You could get lost in here - for days, never mind hours. Where to start, it’s everything a good bookshop should be: a treasure trove, hidden nooks and crannies, places to browse, read with your kids, rekindle a love of anything book related, organised but in a way that draws you in ever deeper and through a constantly changing stream of genre.

But David’s bookshop is on a whole other level: signed copies from notable authors in using Steven Fry and Anthony Horowitz. Lots and lots of second hand books: children’s books from my childhood, recent copies, antiquarian books, Folio Society books and, just when you think you’ve exhausted everything, head upstairs (what, where, I never noticed…..). It’s like entering another world - a library from 30 years ago.

Oh - and there’s music, vinyl, dvds- a whole section for your audio pleasure.

And of course the usual bookshop extras of cards, literary related gifts, all a class above your average high street book store.

You think I’m done…. (What you’re not done……?) Not unless you’ve already discovered the games room….. board games galore, Warhammer, Dungeons and Dragons books and a huge selection of board games.

I still fear I haven’t done the place justice. Wonderful staff, easy and swift book ordering, second hand books lining the tops of the shelves to make it feel like you’re entering a revered reading room.

I won’t go on for fear of creating something so long it could have its own price tag.

Oh - and you can bring in your unwanted books and trade them for money off vouchers. (You said you were done….)

That’s it-I promise. (I’m going to hit ‘post’ before you can waffle in anymore).
