This is a fabulous small bookshop at Holy Corner in Edinburgh. The owner is extremely knowledgeable

5/ 5

This is a fabulous small bookshop at Holy Corner in Edinburgh. The owner is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. A couple of years ago I saw a theatrical performance of Homer's Iliad and dropped into the shop wondering if they had a copy. After an inspiring discussion about different translations, within two days I was sitting on the comfy sofa reading and comparing two versions so I could choose one. Sterling service. It's so important to support local bookshops like this rather than the online empire.
