📚 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?💕

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?

[Edinburgh Community Bookshop @EdiCommBookshop]

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

[Edinburgh Community Bookshop @EdiCommBookshop]

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 😍
