“ Discovered this gem of a bookshop wandering around the lovely Grassington before a long drive home. Four of us all ended up leaving with a couple of books each from the excellent shop displays and suggestions. We missed the coffee shop attached but it was BUSY, great to see. Hopefully we'll be up this way again soon and can pay it a visit. ”
