We’ve been visiting the shop for a few years now, whenever we visit family in Ripon. A brilliant range of books in a well laid out shop. Lovely add ons with cards, and book related gifts. The staff are always ready to help and have saved me with book orders and holding books in store for us to pick up next time even if this means we will be back in months not days. Well worth a visit!
Had a very warm welcome at the bookshop. Good selection of children's, teenage, and adult fiction, along with local books, cards, canvas bags and bookmarks. Easy parking at Booths (check your parking ticket for voucher)
Excellent, friendly and professional bookshop. Having read this morning on BBC news about 'an historical map of Ripon cathedral city and market town' , the bookshop had a copy to buy. I have never done Christmas shopping in October, but relented on seeing a stack of Matt's Annual cartoon book, so relieved the bookshop of 6 copies! Thank you.
Found this lovely bookstore when strolling around in Ripon. Very cozy atmosphere, a good selection of book and nice staff.
Fabulous proper book shop with lots of interesting and unusual books and other bits and bobs...never leave empty handed.
