tel: 0141 339 1811 map
Open: Monday - Saturday 11.00 - 6.30. Large stock including literature,
history, Scottish and antiqurian books. Down a much
friendlier lane off Otago street than Thistle Books, this big shop could give
Caledonia Books a run for its money with the amount of stock. Books to the ceiling
but also in piles on the floor in front of the bookshelves. With more stock than
they really have room for, it gives the impression that the book you are after
is there if only you could spend the time moving the piles about. However if you
want to search through the science fiction pile you might have to persuade the
sleeping cat to move first. That said, this is my favourite shop in the area,
always worth a visit. - Jeremy Briggs. |
