Wonderful selection of books, i love coming here! Fiction, classics, sci-fi are my most bought genes. Example: a beautifully stunning edition of Crime and Punishment! Favorite book find? That would be Selected Poems of John Keats, and what is special about it? The the edition i found! Edition i found? Macmillan Collector's Library!

I’ll never be able to say enough good things about Letters. Land and his team run a dream bookshop. The selection, the personal recommendations, the events, and of course the location are all incredible. This place has the spark that so many bookstores strive to achieve but so rarely do. We’re all so lucky to have a bookstore like this in Durham.
