Five Leaves Bookshop

Nottingham


Opened as an extension of its own publishing imprint in 2013, this splendid independent bookshop is hidden down a passageway off Low Row. In addition to its own titles, it stocks fiction, poetry and non-fiction works (politics, poetry, counterculture, LGBT, cityscapes and landscapes) by other independent and commercial publishers. Readings, book launches and talks regularly take place in store.
