    Would I call myself a geek? Perhaps. My husband did buy me geek socks for Christmas. And I did do a…read morecourse in genetics of my own free will. And I like reading books on grammar. Ok, so I'm a geek. Then, this place was made for me, right? Well actually, this is more for the comic book geek kind of person, but I was still tempted to go along to see what this place was like. It just opened (on Saturday) so I wasn't expecting much. It is pretty easy to see with the signage (look for black/yellow hazard tape coloured signs), and you head down a set of stairs with some seriously cool comic wallpaper. Into the main room and your eyes will be hit with walls of bright yellow and fluro lights. You'll find a cafe, lots of seating, comics as well as figurines and some locally made crocheted characters too. There was a guy standing near the cafe to "brief" people as they came in, if they walked in looking bewildered and confused like I did. I really appreciated this as he was super friendly and chatty without being pushy or overbearing. There was quite a lot of people in here for a Thursday lunch time seeing as it just opened, and in fact they'd sold out of hot dog rolls as well as a couple of paninis, so they must be doing well. I settled for a cupcake (with a batman logo) and had a seat. There is plenty of seating although I imagine if it got busier, you might have to share a table with a stranger (not necessarily a bad thing!). They have a display of comics for you to read while you eat which I thought was pretty cool, as well as board games to play (just leave a £5 deposit). They are still ironing out some things - they are getting wifi, so at the moment it's a reception black hole with no phone/internet (what is a geek to do?!) but I imagine that once that is sorted this would be a pretty good place to hang out for a geek-out. They sell a bunch of American themed snacks and lollies (candy/sweeties) if you are so inclined. I liked the vibe of this place. Geeky - obviously, but also friendly, relaxing and (dare I say it) a bit cool. Nice one, guys!

    AVOID AT ALL COSTS. Pre-ordered an item through them online. Waited weeks for it to be sent. In our…read moreemail correspondence they said they had sold too many preorders and were trying to allocate enough stock. Weeks passed and nothing came of it until they ultimately issued a refund. The item now costs more to buy than what I paid for it at preorder. DO NOT TRUST THEM.

    GEEK-ORAMA Him…read moreIndoors and I popped in here this afternoon...he is a MASSIVE comic book "aficionado" (read:geek!! ) This is a store he hadn't been in before, so I got his "pleeeeeease" face...So I was kiiiiinda like "uuuuugh, OK we'll go in for a wee look..." I'm not gonna lie, I was expecting a small, dingy, crammed store with slightly arrogant staff...but no, it's bright, airy and the staff was friendly and helpful! I fear I made a huuuuuge cos-play faux pas whilst in the shop-lol-I saw a girl dressed in a Star Trek outfit, presumed she was employed there so said "hiya"...she looked at me like I was weird-turns out she DIDN'T work there (I saw her leaving with a friend just before we did...!!) so I was just saying Hi to random folk...haahaaa!! Oh well, at least I was being friendly!! I ended up actually buying something (did NOT expect that-HAAA!!) and I even had a slight Game of Thrones geek out (bought a House Targaryen mug-teeeheee...) Him Indoors has already declared he'll be getting most of this year's Christmas pressies (really, ALREADY!!??) from this shop, so I fear I will become a regular check in here...! Lol I'd definitely recommend this shop to anyone who wants cool wee bits from TV shows (there's a whole stand for Breaking Bad stuff-was a tough choice between a Heisenberg mug and the eventual winner!!) As with all these "collectible" shops, it's a wee bit expensive, but it's what it's expected! All in all, better than a lot of these shops, IMHO...

    How can anyone resist a name like Young's Interesting Books? I've actually been here a few times…read morenow - it's in the Skirving St strip of shops which I love, and Young's is always worth a stop in. It's a second hand book shop, and as the title suggests, you're going to find some interesting gems in here. The window display is always amazing and they tend to have something quirky/unusual in there, or themed (recently they've had Star Wars stuff in the window). It's definitely worth taking time for a browse in here - if you were looking for something in particular you could ask for help, otherwise it's nice just to chill out and have a browse. You never know what you're going to find.

    At last an independent book shop that isn't in the west end. In fact at last an independent book…read moreshop. In fact, scratch that, following the recent death of Borders or as my friend and his Northern accent calls it 'Boarders' at last another book shop! The name could be argued as a bit presumptuous.. but it has of course a wide range of second hand books from curiosities to standards and is just the place book lovers love to while away an hour or so. If you like to feel the book in your hand that has likely been all over the world, read a wee bit and judge not by it's cover or the anonymous tips of online book sellers then this is definitely the place for you. The prices are reasonable and they buy as well as sell. Ideal.
