I asked the women behind the counter if they had them in. They looked them up, said no, offered to order them for me, but that's it. I mean, yes they were nice and offered to special order as well, but to really make this place that little bit special I would have liked them to at least try and see if I would be interested in similar suggestions. Try to understand what sort of book I was looking for and see if there was anything similar in the store. But nope, they looked them up, politely said no and went about their conversation again. I guess they get enough business from the locals to not need to spend that extra time on people. It's a shame.

This is not the sort of bookstore where you go looking for a particular title; it's more where you go to browse and happen upon something interesting. They have a pretty good selection of fiction, especially classics and crime - and you'll definitely find whatever the current top-sellers are, but the non-fiction titles are pretty limited. What really makes this place special, however, is their enthusiasm for local authors - more than a few shelves are dedicated solely to the works from Bloomsbury set. There is a relaxed easiness about Primrose Hill Books. Every time I wander in here I always end up staying far longer than I intended. Even though it's tiny, you never feel rushed or like you're imposing on anyone by leisurely leafing through endless volumes. The staff is courteous, but pretty hands-off - simply letting you peruse and take your time. If you do need help, however, they are extremely knowledgeable and friendly - will even order in a title for you. I just wish the selection of non-fiction weren't so skimpy!

I love books, and there's no better place to buy them than an independent bookstore. It increases…read morethe feeling of discovery and intimacy that goes with book-buying - makes it more special, and of course helps out your local community, rather than one of the mega chains. This shop is pretty small but has an excellent selection. You'll find bestsellers alongside some classic treasures and unusual lesser-known finds. The only problem is that as an independent shop, they don't offer the discounts that others do. The staff are always friendly and totally helpful. I went in there looking for a copy of Pessoa recently and they ordered it within a few days. They also accept book tokens if you happened to get any for christmas (yes, I am a geek, but I love getting that present!).

Over here bookstores have morphed into a weird coffee shop/greeting card store/music outlet hybrid with a smattering of Oprah's Picks displayed in a bin just so they can keep the bookstore pretense alive.

Bellenden Road is a very nice street and it wasn't a big surprise that it housed a lovely bookshop, though as I browsed through stacks of interesting tomes and cooed over the cute gifts they had on sale for Christmas I did wish I'd discovered it sooner. Thinking about it later I realised I hadn't been in a real bookshop for years, preferring online shopping or a look through the shelves of the local charity shop to the sorry trudge around the book supermarkets we're surrounded by these days. I wasn't even sure small bookshops still did good enough business to pay the rent so it was especially nice to find out that Review is alive and kicking, complete with canine companion. Sadly I missed out on meeting the famous pooch as he'd gone home for his tea but hopefully next time

Where it could have…read moresuccumbed to the temptation to sell cool books to all the cool people that pass through this street (y'know how Fopp does it - bit of Orwell, bit of Camus, bit o' Kafka), they actually got a really well-stocked selection of fiction. The kind of fiction you've always wanted to read, or thought you should be reading. like Proust? And they do pretty greetings cards. There is a standard section on design, with big coffee table books about brazillian architecture or pictures of industrial decline. You do know them ones. But that's ok, their local history selection is beautiful and really appropriate for Brick Lane, where it would be easy to forget what it looked like last year. This bit's got nice books on the area's radical history, the stories of the Jewish presence in the area (I'd been looking for a Litvinoff book for ages) and the struggles against fascism and the National Front in London's East End. Which I felt really ties it to the area. It's definitely worth coming in 2 Eastside Books for a browse...
