    Biblio-Text: West End Lane Books

    Mental note to pop in here more often - it’s only around the corner.

    What kinds of books do you sell and why?
    Owner Graeme Estry: “We are a local community independent, and take pride in serving our community as closely as possible. Therefore the bookshop is the result of a 15 year dialogue with the community, and they tend to want an intelligent and literary general stock, more curated and bespoke than a Waterstones or Borders. We also try to provide as much interest in and above our community mandate, and attract ‘outsiders’ with our specialities in imported titles, deluxe editions, graphic novels, Jewish interest titles, meticulously chosen sale stock and of course, experimental and avant-garde poetry, for which we have an international reputation. We have also previously had large sections on Japanese Literature, Russian Literature, Independent Publishers and Beat and Surrealist literature. These special sections change with the seasons.”
