text: I have been to this bookshop so many times over the years I have very fond memories of it from when I was younger and vividly remember begging by mum for us to go every time we visited EdinburghnnNow as an English Literature student in Edinburgh I can apprectiate the wonders of this bookshop even more Every time I walk past I can never resist going in and once I am in I can never resist buying something Not so good for my purse but very good for my moodnnI also managed to find all my books for all my courses at university very easily and for a reasonable compared to most other places price and the staff were very friendly and helpful when I had questionsnnThere is a very extensive range of books as well as a wonderful stationary section and an adjoining cafe I could literally spend the whole day in here if I did not have other things to do It also has pretty late opening time for a bookshop which is particularly great for me on lazy weekends when I do not surface from the land of nod until embarrassingly late in the daynnOf course sometimes it is easier to buy books cheaper on Amazon but I have such a longstanding softspot for this bookshop that I never resent spending a wee bit more in here Plus it means I get to lose myself in this beautiful bookshop for a wee while which can never be a bad thing
