This is a lovingly curated independent bookseller, one of the best in the North of England. Despite its small size, the careful and idiosyncratic selection of books means that besides the bestsellers and classics, there are some interesting and eclectic choices too. It is particularly strong in fiction and history and travel, with a solid selection of new titles. The window displays are usually a visual treat and there is a very good collection of classical and jazz CDs downstairs. It is also the main bookshop partner to the Ilkley Literature Festival.
