BOOK LOVE

Ok so this is just fabulous, from the fit out to the content. Wow! I could have stayed here for hours and think that many probably do. It feels like a cosy cave with its black shelving, floors and dark wooden walls. Book spines and table displays give pops of vibrant colour and draw you in like lollies! I didn't know where to start and I have to say the first table was a very satisfying taster…tattoos, 70's New York Glamour…nudes…interiors…food. Oh boy! I wondered through with a crazy kid like excitement and hoped nobody could tell (it is in the hippest neighbourhood after all!) Then I found a series of red seating panels forming part of the table display areas, and what a good idea, every few steps when you need to look at another book (which you do) you sit yourself down and enjoy… <3

AND as for some of those welcome books….
