Despite a devastating fire in 2017, the Dusty Bookshelf has persevered with the support of its loyal customers and is now ready for the next chapter.

The shop has a great selection and friendly staff. The displays were eye catching and prices were average. It's a great place to meet a friend too, with seating near the window!

This is such a lovely bookstore. The staff are very friendly and welcoming when you come inside and there is even a coffee shop as well as some places to sit and read throughout the bookstore....
