Reviews

  • Khalid El-Awad

Unfortunately the owner is very unpleasant. The door was open, I walked in, he barked at me that they were closed. I said that I was sorry but I wasn't aware, he said that (for reasons that are unclear to me) it was obvious that they were shut. Unfortunate as I used to be a regular customer supporting small business. The selection is interesting, however it's also very pricey, and this kind of treatment can be a good reason to buy online for a fraction of the price asked in store.

  • Joe Wehry

An eclectic, but well-curated book store that offers magazines, fiction and non-fiction, plus fine-art books and magazines - many of which are collectibles. Take time to browse the shelves in the small store - there are some surprising discoveries not available at your typical book seller.

  • Costa

A fabulous little bookshop, perfect for those with a penchant for socialist texts, or non-fiction in general. I managed to find two books that I had been trying (and failing) to find in multiple other stores (Poor by Caleb Femi and The Utopians by Anna Neima).

  • Peter Blenkharn

Terrifyingly edgy, in the best possible way. I've found loads of fascinating books here I would never have found anywhere else. Anyone interested in art, culture or any combination of it should come here and get something.

  • Skittle Nittle

As an artbook dealer I can say that this is one of the best rare artbook shops in the world. The space is not too big but the content is endless. Beautiful books tucked away in every corner.

  • Rachael Stocker

Not sure what the deal with the person at the counter was but he was rude to the point that i put my purchases down and walked out. Won't go back as his attitude was awful.

  • August Lamm

I wasn't expecting such an interesting selection, and ended up walking away with something I wouldn't usually choose. Thanks for introducing me to new authors!

  • unfolders arrangements

A selection of catagories which appear less often in most other books Ive experienced in London. Always experienced the staff to be friendly.

  • Quin Chung

Possibly the largest Japanese photo book depot besides London Photographer's Gallery. If you can't find a foreign book you need, just ask ;)

  • Dermot O'Brien

Really interesting little bookshop with an eclectic and sometimes esoteric stock. Owner is friendly, approachable and knowledgeable.
