So nice to see an independent bookshop in Kingsbridge. I can honestly say that I have never met a more enthusiastic and helpful store owner - always interested in new and upcoming authors.
My wife ordered a book here and it arrived before it was even available from the well-known South American rainforest online store!

Amazingly fast service from Jane and her team. Less than 18 hours to get a special order map in for me.
Faster and nicer than other online alternatives.
— Julia Wingate
The very best of bookshops- packed with old favourites and the newest releases; next day service on ordered books as standard. Jane and Louise can find you anything you want from the scantiest information.
A joy to visit!
