An excellent bookshop in the centre of Cambridge, with a huge range of both academic and more…read moremainstream texts. I was after a copy of Pevsner, (eclectic tastes, I'm afraid) and they had the full range in stock. Great stuff. Very knowledgeable and helpful staff. A long queue formed on my visit, but they got in 2 extra staff to tackle it after less than a minute. Recommended.

They don't take refunds on statute books (a book which has the law of something on it, in my case…read morethe Companys Act, 2006 and related laws). Something they didn't tell me when I first purchased the product. Something that wasn't reflected in the receipt. Something that wasn't on a sign on the counter. All they could offer was "sorry". What is the reason for this, I asked? Because statute books can be photocopied and returned. But that is the same for ALL books in theory. Actually it is even less likely for statute books, because YOU CAN PRINT IT FOR FREE ON THE INTERNET. I imagine they must have other nonsensical policies out there just waiting to bite you. Out of principle, I won't be buying anything from this place ever. Amazon here I come.

This bookstore, replacing the empty sweet shop Hevan, is a refreshing change for a town that…read morehonestly doesn't have much variety. This store deals with second hand and antiquarian books so don't expect to find Jordan's latest biography here (Thank the gods!). This small store packs a lot of stock into it's space, so browsing is a must. Outside the store there are boxes of books at 4 for £1, so very good for those that devour books quickly or are looking for some holiday/commuting reads. Inside there are older and more special books that would make ideal gifts, and to add to that the store also has greetings cards in the shapes of books and wrapping paper printed with bookcases full of books on. The proprietor of this store is very nice and friendly, and even better, knows about books. Unlike high street stores he has actually read books and this makes it a joy to visit even more.

This store is quite large and spacious with comic books organised by type (Marvel, DC, Dark Horse, etc) across the wall shelving and in the boxes of back issues too.
