📚 Book Review: Enchantment awaits in Philip Pullman's 'Northern Lights.' I haven't read it since my younger days, but I've revisited this world several times. An unforgettable journey of innocence, destiny, and the dance between light and darkness. ✨ #PhilipPullman #MustRead

Not sure what to read next?
We have a 'staff picks' section where our lovely volunteers pick their favourite books and write recommendations for you! 💖

The shop is expanding! 🥳
Well, we've got two new shelves and rearranged a bit :) from now on you can find Young Adult fiction next to our Romance section in the fiction room.
What do you think about the new layout?💕

Val McDermid We’re happy to tell you that your books are helping us to raise money for local Edinburgh charities and that we are now once again able to accept donations.⁦⁦Edinburgh Community Bookshop
⁩Edinburgh Community Bookshop, 179 Great Junction Street.

We're looking for 2 small IKEA Billy Bookcases to add to our shop so we can display more books. Ideally black but white would also work. Have you got some you're getting rid of?

We have a stall on Leith Market today! Come by to get your daily dosage of books 😇💕

Our donations are officially open again 🥳🥳
Help us restock our shelves by donating all the old books on your shelves (and make some space for new ones in the process 😉)
We are open every day from 10 - 4 and happy to take donations of any size! 🥰

Our newest addition to the £1 boxes outside: a big stack of quirky american magazines!

Even though the content might be a few years old, the covers are stunning and would make for some original wall art 😍
