Book-Cycle - Exeter

came in recently, lovely little shop - very charming and a sweet reading nook upstairs surrounded by a wide array of all sorts of books ! 📚
i paid what i thought was a very fair price for 3 books after having looked on ebay and world of books for a guide price in their condition (2 very old classics and one non fiction) and got a rather disappointed reaction from a male staff member as he reluctantly processed my transaction. apart from that , very lovely and would recommend. i feel there should be some kind of guide for how much people should donate to avoid any confusion though .

So I’m back in the city four the first time in seven years. I’m a huge book worm and reviewer and love to support independent book sellers where ever I tend to find myself on my travels.

I came ere with a friend and loved the place. You get to decide the price you pay and you can purchase up to three books a day.

My friend picked up two, on on my recommendation and i picked up just the one.

Staff were amazing, very welcoming, chatty and friendly. An amazing amount of books well organised.

I also purchased a huge pine cone as I love the meaning that a pine come represents of rebirth and enlightenment.

I will come here again when next in the city.

A second hand book shop in a beautiful old building that invites you to pay what you think your chosen volume is worth.

It's been around for ages, so this unusual arrangement obviously works.

Lots of books on two storeys. The game here is to sort through them. One person's rubbish is another's gem, and you have to find your gems.

Books seem to turn over rapidly (maybe one of the reasons that the place works so well) so there's always something new.

If you are a book nut drop in and look. Regularly, if you can. It's our kind of fun 🙂

What a gem of a book store, shelved with treasure. You can donate your books & pick up a new read - pls be generous & support this charity, run by friendly staff who are all volunteers

This is an amazing little place. Not only is it in a beautiful Tudor building, but is also has a seed bank and a 'pay-what-you-feel' system where you can buy up to 3 books a day. I never leave without a book...or three.

This was a cool book shop with a wide range of books. It's a pay what you think. Friendly staff and just a nice look around. Everyone else with somthing.

The place took me to a previous century without any overwhelming smell of old books. Max 3 books per person and only accept cash.
Good collection and you could spend hours there.
The elderly lady who was at that time, running the shop, not overly obtrusive as other people say.

This is the most beautiful little bookshop with a wonderful selection of treasures across two floors. I love coming here!
