Absolutely in love with this store. It's hidden away but so worth the trip. I found books from my childhood that I never thought I would get to read again, books that I thought I could only get from America with an extra $30 in shipping fees but they are sold here for more than reasonable prices. Almost everything has been scanned so easy to check if they have it. Honestly love this place and will definitely be coming back to see what they get in over the next few weeks!
Worth the trip and was lovely and warm inside. So many books so little time. I wanted to stay here :)

A very wide range of books. So many! Really well set out. I had so much fun scanning the shelves. Helpful friendly staff too. I'm looking forward to going back

Such a wonderful bookshop with an amazing range of stock and rare finds. Ry could not have been more tremendously helpful and lovely, going above and beyond with shipping and making sure my book got to me safely!!
Couldn’t recommend more!!

OMG!! Not only awesome range of books but the best service you will ever experience! Courier said my books had been delivered and yet there was no sign of them! Ry and his team went to great lengths to ensure that I either got my books or was compensated! I am so grateful to Ry and his team and will definitely be back for more 🙏

My first visit to Reverie Booksellers today. I tracked down a book I wanted and was amazed to find it at a third of the price elsewhere. Although secondhand, it was as new. Ry provided me with a personal tour of the shop and pointed out local coffee places etc. A great place to visit. It is well signposted for genres etc but essentially, just ask. The shop has much more than the website can provide so a visit is a must and you can easily spend a hour reviewing the shelves. The shop has character and has well-priced gems. If you are thinking of buying new - try here first. You may be pleasantly surprised!
