The Little Apple Bookshop

A wonderfully curated gem of a bookshop that prioritizes quality over quantity. The selection is thoughtfully chosen rather than overwhelming. Exactly what you want in an independent bookstore. Their signed first editions section is impressive, featuring works by authors like R.F. Kuang (spotted her latest!) and Jacinda Ardern's autobiography among others. The esoterica section is particularly noteworthy, with a comprehensive collection from Taschen's Library of Esoterica series alongside an extensive tarot card selection that clearly caters to serious practitioners and curious beginners alike. The fiction section focuses on modern, highly-rated titles, not a massive selection, but every book feels like it was hand-picked for readers who appreciate quality literature. You can tell the staff really knows their books and has put thought into every shelf. This is the kind of independent bookshop that reminds you why browsing in person beats online shopping. Whether you're hunting for something specific or just want to discover your next great read, it's absolutely worth stopping in. A true treasure for book lovers.

Lovely bookshop, we go in every time we visit York! The owners are incredible - my wife left her purse in the shop and they managed to track us down and posted it back to us! Thank you!

Walked past a lot but it's always a busy spot. Spotted a moment of calm and jumped at my chance to go in. It's a great little spot with really friendly and helpful staff. A top range of books and bits including a decent selection of Snoopy/ Peanuts merch. 😎 Got a couple of books I've been meaning to read and left very pleased. 🫶

Such a cute bookshop and it mostly sales children’s books and toys and some canvas bags etc. I think any kids or any any families with kids should not miss it. They have newly or old fashioned published children’s illustrated books, literature, graphic novels and comics. I can’t believe I saw Tin Tin here. Feel so sentimental. The A clockwork orange canvas bag is so cool. I forgot to ask where the book shop owner got it from but it looks like quite rare.

This bookstore was amazing! They had totes and a wide selection of books and bookmarks from every genre. The owner was super nice and had recommendations for places to eat and books to read. She was overall super friendly and helpful. There were also decks of cards for sale, that were very unique. I bought one with bugs on every card that give information on each but. Very amazing bookstore!!!
