Reading Rooms
Our Reading Rooms are through the left door as you approach the bookshop, up the stairs on the 1st floor, 1st door. Passing through our Daphne du Maurier Exhibition (which is not to be rushed) you will step back in time into an old red room, with a ceiling of stars and beams, surrounded by green wooden shelves packed with vintage and antiquarian books, which are all for sale.
We strive to keep this a calm haven, in the middle of our busy city. A space for discovering old treasures, old books; fiction, nonfiction, and children’s.
Hopefully you will be tempted to buy one or more, start or continue a collection, and possibly read them right then and there.
We also trade tea, coffee, cold drinks, brownies or flapjacks for £.
Our Reading Room’s opening hours are Thursday - Saturday 10am - 5:30pm & Sundays 11am-4pm.
Cafe
We serve tea and coffee, with the option of vegan brownies from Cake or Death, a uk based baker who were originally from Hackney, East London, but moved to Exeter in sunny Devon. Our coffee is sourced from Steampunk Coffee Roasters- “based in the beautiful Scottish seaside town of North Berwick, we roast fully traceable and ethically sourced single-origin coffees”.
