incredible customer service. they go above and beyond to communicate and help you with any issue you may have. i very rarely do google reviews, so that's how excellent my experience with them was. thank you.

Someone stole my copy of a book gifted by a friend somewhere in transit (I received an empty retaped package.) Called to report it and received a new copy the next week. Excellent customer service!

Really nice small independent bookshop. They can order you books not available on the shelf.
