This has several floors stairs and a basement. It's got more books than I've ever seen and is more of a labyrinth experience than a shop. Honest, this place is a bookworm paradise. It also has a cafe. If you like barter books, you'll be amazed by this.

Amazing place. We came back for a second visit in three days and stayed until it closed. A vast array of second hand books over three floors like I've never seen before. Plus a coffee shop! Brilliant

Love this place, I could have stayed there all day. Sadly time was limited so I will have to come back at some point in the future. It’s not often I’m overwhelmed by book, but a was a bit here. So much it’s frankly crazy.

Great bookshop. Literally books everywhere over three floors. Most are second-hand, but there's also a section with new books. I bought a Wainwright book, but I'm sure I could have bought loads more had I had more time to look around the store. If I'm ever back in Carlisle I'll definitely return here for a proper look. If you like books then go here for a browse.

Wonderful place, like a maze inside. I can get lost in there for hours looking at books. Well categorized and the staff is always helpful if you need to find something in this branch of other branches too.
