Loved the unique idea of surprise book packages - no other shop in the area does this! Fantastic staff in each week from different countries around the world ? ?

When you wait 6 years for something, you start to think, will this live up to my expectations? Well, I can certainly say it went beyond, and I had high hopes!Having wanted to own a bookshop as a child, this was a total dream come true for me. From decorating and running the shop to relaxing at the end of the day in the really cosy and comfortable flat upstairs, this ticked all the boxes.The true magic was in all the stories that we heard each day. This was the most wholesome week we've ever had. We felt so welcome by all the locals, and so thankful for all the connections we made from people all around the world.We didn't know that this place would have such a positive impact on us, and we can't wait to hopefully do it all again one day. We had way too much fun running the bookstore each day, we didn't even explore! We'll be back and we can't wait.And as my husband said, "I did not want to be a bookseller, but I will be forever grateful that I was."

This is such a unique experience! A beautiful book shop which has a new book seller every fortnight! There are some amazing books and few rare ones. But every single week you discover something new. If you can get on to the long waiting list then it is absolutely worth the wait. :)

Lovely friendly staff who chatted to us about the arrangement for a different owner to look after the bookshop every 2 weeks. What a great idea!

Adorable, and if you're running it, a great place to get to know Wigtown's locals and visitors. If you're shopping, better to go in with an open mind than a specific request--the selection is eclectic and variable, with hidden gems to be discovered!

Wonderfully friendly staff, a great place to find your next read. Free books available outside and in, alongside a great range of reasonably priced books both fiction and non-fiction.
