  I’ll shop online with the likes of Book Depositary and Amazon from now on.

  I like to order online with them then go in and pick it up. They always fill the order quickly. Lovely shop to browse, too.

  I ordered a book online from this store on the 21st of November only to be told it wasn’t in stock (so what was it doing on the website?) I was condescendingly offered the option of the bookstore keeping my money until such time as the book came back in stock (it’s out of print!) or a refund. I chose a refund on the 22nd. After several emails and a telephone call a refund has finally been processed. In the age of online book selling and the soon to be Amazon onslaught the only thing independent book stores have going for them is personalised service. This store fails on that front spectacularly. Oh and a check on their website yesterday revealed the book was still listed on the website!

  Stumbled across this bookshop when searching online for a particular book. A further book was located at another Avenue store, and it was sent across on within hours (on a Sunday)! The parcel was then sent express Post to WA, so should arrive for Christmas. Pleasant and efficient Sales Attendants.... thank you!

  Old school large bookshop with staff who answer questions well, know what they're doing. It's really the last bastion of book shops. They do it well so they'll remain as long as possible. I fear it'll be like the buggy whip analogy, however I do praise their efforts in their atmosphere, selection and service. They gift wrap for free and have a membership club. Go upstairs to the back to experience what I think is the most relaxing part of the shop. They have meet the author sessions. It's great.

  A massive range of books all beautifully stacked and presented.
