A quirky independent bookshop in Penzance
Books, books, books, we love reading them, talking about them, shelving them and it has to be said on occasion sniffing the lovely new pages.
We aim to be at the very centre of our very special book-loving community and are ready to welcome people to Cornwall from all around the world.
With the lockdown restrictions likely to make our usual author events less possible we are experimenting with adding lots of content from authors here.
Whether you are into literary blockbusters, cult classics, holiday reads or inspirational coffee-table tomes we have it all.
Many of our books are discounted and we operate a loyalty card scheme for regular customers.
Email us with any book orders or browse here to see some of our favourites.
