Did you know
Books are shelved under irreverent, hand-written homemade categories rather than standard genres, including a section simply labelled 'wimmin' for women's fiction.
Local tip
Go for the staff picks table by the door rather than searching by genre, since the shop's own quirky, hand-labelled categories can take some getting used to.
