Looking into the treasure trove at The Bookstore Café is always a treat!
Thousands of miscellaneous items too numerous to note are scattered all over the three
floors that make up the Bookstore Café. Below is a list of our more commonly sought after
books and items and where to find them.
The items available change on a regular basis as we find 'new' old things to
bring in for you to peruse.
