The Dormouse bookshop is certainly one of the best book shops in the country, Hidden away on the…read moretudor time machine that is elm hill this deceptive shop appears small , yet has extensive stock for the book collector. When I am in Norwich I always go for a visit.

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 is Woodbridges premiere bookshop. They have a selection of virtually every type of book, and a…read morefew bits and bobs too. They have not wasted any shop floor on food in here!

This store is tucked away in the town centre. The store is easy to access from the street and once…read moreinside is all on one level. There are two separate central displays and the rest of the books are on the wall all around the shop. This makes it very easy to get around if you have a buggy or are disabled. There are a range of discount books on every topic imaginable, from childrens books to cookery books to biographies, fiction and much more. Prices are competitive, with books often sold as being damaged (even though you would find it difficult to find something wrong with them). The stock does regularly change, so if I see something I like then I tend to buy it then and there as it might not be there next time i'm in town. Parking is either in the town centre which is fine, but can be a bit difficult carrying heavy books to one of the surrounding car parks.

Always a treat! Food in the cafe bookshop varies from…read morepastry and cakes, to hot baguettes and paninis, soup and the dish of the day. This can be pasta or pies with salad.

Portions are not huge, but food is always fresh. I love eating there and it I'd always busy.

This café has got no background music and is open till 8pm. As this combo is absolutely unique in…read moreEngland, there must be some big BUT for me to not award full five stars. This BUT is the café's air-condition. I understand that when it is 28° outside, they want to cool their spaces down a bit, but what they are doing is way over the top. I have to bring additional layers which I put on *inside* the café, which just feels completely stupid. Plus air-conditioning is extremely energetically demanding (much more than heating), so in the price of my drink I am effectively covering the cost of them making me feel unpleasant.

I can't believe how long it took me to find this Cambridge gem.

The staff is knowledgable and friendly, and it has a great café on the second floor. I look forward to spending many more hours hear and highly recommend it.

Walking into Topping & Company Booksellers is like travelling back in time to a place where…read morecompasses, antique globes and tea stained maps are relevant. It's a beautiful book shop on the high street of Ely with friendly staff willing and able to offer their expertise and advice. This book shop is a treasure and you could spend hours immersed in the mountain of books available and what's more, they will even offer you hot beverages whilst you shop or read. I am very partial to taking trips to Topping & Co just for the pure pleasure of how worldly I feel when I enter, not to mention the scent of new books which I just love. This has to be one of my favourite book shops around Cambridgeshire, without a doubt!
