Absolutely lovely independent book store with great staff who are always ready to help. They are very knowledgeable and the collection of books is incredible! Love the feel of the store, the books, the vibe and the events

Beautiful bookstore on King St, staff very knowledgable and enthusiastic about book recommendations. I had to buy a present for a colleague, and lovely bookseller Maddy helped me pick out the perfect book for him based on the three facts I know about him. Also I got a few books for myself based on Maddy's enthuiasm for them!
Lot, Washington’s short story collection, was my favorite book of last year. Big shoes to fill, yet his first novel Memorial did not disappoint – I loved it just as much. So far 100% for everything Washington has published. His smooth, casual writing is so easy to read and flow with, it's possible the novel's genius may be overlooked, but don’t let this ease of reading fool you. Washington is the king of my reading world. Memorial is a total refresh!
This is a pretty great bookstore. Sometimes their alphabetical listings for fiction don't always line up, which tends to be a little frustrating. Staff always tend to be kind and helpful, offering great personal insights and recommendations on what they have read. I truly feel at home at times in this bookstore. I also would like to commend their commitment to select graphic novels, which are largely of the independent variety, which is fantastic to see. Reduced prices on older books, and a revised alphabetical system would make this store pitch perfect.
This is one of the reasons that I love Newtown, it is just so retro, and you can find some pretty cool shops along the strip, such as this one. In fact there wasn't one, but two, decent bookshops within a short distance from each other. This one was pretty cool, and that usually comes down to me being able to find a book within a couple of minutes browsing the shelves, and this place certainly hit the mark. The staff are pretty awesome as well, and there is a really good selection of secondhand books.
Absolutely fantastic bookstore. The staff are so attentive (but not annoyingly so) and knowledgeable. Love that it's open late on King St, go for a quick read while out walking the dog or after having had dinner nearby!
Used to be a great bookstore but has really changed over last few years. Many of the staff are actively rude, book events are often canceled without cause and they don't support local authors like they used to. The store is reasonably well set out still but it has lost its cool local fun vibe
An absolutely wonderful bookshop in the heart of Newtown. A cozy shop that celebrates the cherished masterpieces of the great writers of our time. I have always found the staff extremely helpful and knowledgeable about any genre of literature. If books were considered medicine, these would be some of our exemplary bibliotherapeutic specialists. They also have free wrapping sometimes (all the time?).
