Book store
The Long Room Books
New and second-hand books, two floors, no algorithm.
About the shop
An independent shop on Division, open since the building was a hardware store. The ground floor is new titles and the staff picks we argue about; upstairs is second-hand, sorted loosely and best browsed without a plan.
What you'll find
On our shelves
New fiction and non-fiction
A tight, opinionated selection rather than everything in print.
Second-hand and rare
Two rooms upstairs, restocked from house clearances most weeks.
Special orders
If we don't have it, we'll usually have it in your hands within a week.
Gift wrapping
Free at the counter, and we'll write the card if your handwriting is bad.

What people tell us
I asked for something like Penelope Fitzgerald and left with three books I would never have found on my own. All three were right.
The used section upstairs is dangerous. I have lost entire afternoons in it and regret none of them.
Lovely, calm shop with proper staff recommendations on the shelf cards. Narrow aisles if you have a stroller.
