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.
