Steeped in literary charm and a perfect antidote to impersonal book superstores, this three-storey bookshop in an 18th-century premises inhabits its own universe. A treasure trove of literary gems and hidden surprises, it's been in business for over six decades. Loyal customers swear by it, and knowledgeable booksellers spill forth with well-read pointers and helpful advice.
Illustrated books that are hard to find elsewhere are a particular strong point, as are privately published works that larger bookshops would pass on. Should you have the money and the inclination, staff can even help you create your own personal home library.
