Different to Waterstones
We want to offer an alternative to the big chains and offer a hand-selected range of books that varies from but complements the selection in Waterstones, Foyles, et. Our selection, therefore, consists of few mainstream bestsellers, but rather of a selection of translated books, indie publishers, books addressing gender or culture, as well as underrated books that deserve more attention.
Our careful selection also means we can provide tailored book suggestions for readers of different ages and with different preferences.
