A general secondhand bookshop with an interest in history and and Scottish books.
    A general secondhand bookshop with an interest in history and Scottish books. Don't be put off by it being down a back lane off Otago Street - a medium sized shop with a good general stock, well worth searching out. - Jeremy Briggs.

Voltaire & Rousseau

GLASGOW  Lanarkshire  G12 8PB
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.
