About

After closing my bookshop, I realised one of the things I missed the most was the beautiful books that came into the shop. Along with the joy of meeting customers who feel the same way about books and the value we place on them.

Paperbacks are great, I read a lot of literary fiction and some non-fiction, but am generally happy to move those books on. But, some books are special and for keeps.

Those of you who, like me, love a matching set of books on the shelf, or appreciate the beauty in a well bound volume. This shop is for you. Hardback or paperback, some books are just special.

Sometimes it is the paper itself, the cover, the illustrations or the story. These books are to treasure, gift and to collect.

We know that being surrounded by books as they grow up makes a huge difference to children's development and a set of classics is a great foundation.
