I was very happy to find this little gem of a bookshop in central Edinburgh! The collection is dedicated to science fiction and fantasy titles. Apart from the well-known and loved books you will find there, don't hesitate to pick up a title you may have not considered before. The selection really leaves no doubt that there is great love and thought going into what gets put on the shelves. Truly a great bookshop.

What a lovely book store! I like to buy a book in every country I travel to, because I collect books

5/ 5

What a lovely book store! I like to buy a book in every country I travel to, because I collect books from where I travel. I bought here a really nice Scottish legends book. I also spent at least an hour in the store watching around and the owner was really kind, he did not bother me at all, he let me just look around peacefuly.
