Reviews for Bookcase
Are you looking for old, rare or nearly new books? You love the typical smell of old bookshops and this quiet atmosphere? Than that's your place to be! Walk in and you are immediately a part of a special world. ?
Not sure why this is on as a restaurant - it does have a small and very nice cafe downstairs but the main attraction is the books - and what books! This is the best bookshop I have ever visited. There is a new books part and a used books part (confusingly on Trip advisor separately as Bookends). There are lots of rooms up and downstairs and books on every conceivable subject as well as a massive fiction range. This shop alone is well worth making a trip to Carlisle for

Shelves of old books go on and on. Two upstairs levels. Amazing for a browse if you like old books. New books on the ground floor including a children's section. I will be back for another visit even though I'm a hundred miles away. Lovely coffee shop at the back and downstairs, is also accessible off the lane to the left. Accessible toilet.
