The Edinburgh Book Shop edinburgh

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.

Wonderful independent bookshop with lovely selection of rotating books. Excellent recommendations.

GREAT place. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Good at finding books if they don't have them in stock and their delivery is speedy.

Great selection of books. If they don't have it in you can order them quickly and pick it up in store. Staff here are amazing, really friendly, relaxed and very helpful. Kids have a great time too and they are welcomed with stickers :) The bookshop has LGBTQ friendly books for kids too!

Wonderful array of books and excellent service. Extremely helpful and friendly, chatty staff

Lovely bookshop, friendly, helpful and knowledgeable staff.

Never buying books from Amazon again, I'd much rather support this absolute gem. The owner is knowledgeable, friendly, and overall delightful. The shop is cozy, good selection of books, and you can order the ones they don't have on shelf.
