We want to connect people to books, help children to develop a lifelong love of reading and encourage conversation around books and reading. We also support local schools with a friendly, quality service and are happy to talk about books all day long. We stock a wide range of books, gifts for book lovers, games and comics chosen by our passionate booksellers. Lots of Games Workshop, Manga, graphic novels and Tabletop games as well as action figures and dice.
