Shiva is a little shop which sells vibrantly coloured and gorgeously designed Indian clothing,…read morefabrics and haberdashery, costume jewellery and, quite randomly, a small selection of videos and games. If you are looking for some Indian style clothing or gorgeously colouful material then you would benefit from a visit here. The jewellery is not something I would wear but great if you are looking for something loud and glitzy. I am really into Aladdin pants and hope to come back here when it's a bit warmer to purchase some. I'll let you know how I get on.

Fusion Game Exchange is Otley's answer to Game and PC Consumables. It is packed with second hand…read morecomputer games - full range including Xbox, Wii, PSP, DS, and PS3 - for part exchange or cash. They also sell the consoles themselves and you can sell your old games here, which is pretty handy too. They offer PC repair service and a 'health check' for slow computers for £35, which is in my opinion a bit of a steep diagnosis price. But then again, if you are some kind of luddite and think that defragmenting refers to something from Deep Space Nine perhaps it's not too much to ask in order to get your computer up and running again! Amongst other features they also have a number of mobile phone accessories, mobile unlocking service, repairs and sim cards. All the electricals you might need in this one indie store. Not bad!

I came here recently to fulfill another passion of mine; reading. Well, obviously, it's a book…read moreshop. But I'll get to the point. This store is certainly a handy locale for the many students that Leeds houses, and has a huge collection of virtually every specialty, it seems. With the exception of feminism and gender studies. Imagine my disappointment when browsing the various obscure specialty subjects on offer here, only to find a distinct lack of books surrounding my particular subject of interest. There was barely a book in relation to the subject, and I was directed to try and seek out material in psychology, of all categories! So, some of you may chirp in that it's neither a particularly popular subject, nor a common one, which is as may be. However, since I know that both the Universities offer courses in Gender Studies, and the various surrounding elements (of which there are many tangents), I thought this was a little disappointing. They aren't out on a limb though, it seems the only place I've found which actually caters to this subject has been the Oxfam books in Headingley. Even Borders, when it was still around, went from having a Gender Studies section to a smattering of books lumped in with Social Studies and lesbian writing. I shan't give up my search in any case! However, in spite of the lack of material in that particular area it has to be said that the store has a lot to offer. With many other specialty subjects catered for, a wealth of popular and classic fiction, and some interesting gift style items (see the Leeds pubs posters and similar) this shop would satisfy most of the general custom it supplies. Staff have always been as friendly and helpful as I've needed too, so all in all, one can't complain too much. If you're looking to expand your mind thoughts, this place is certainly somewhere to start. With the exception, of course, in gender studies.

The shelves are packed high with textbooks and academic tomes on every subject imaginable, and there's a good selection of non-academic works too. Books are both new and second hand, and you can get money in exchange for bringing your old books in for resale. The only downside is the price, and many students seem to use it as a venue to preview books before ordering them for cheaper online.
