    Brilliant second hand book shop

    This is a relatively new second bookshop that has opened fairly close to me. It is a lovely space to browse a wide variety of books. It is directly across the road from the Bonhoga gallery which is a Shetland Arts cafe & arts & crafts building. There is a cafe, shop & often displays of photos, paintings, drawings or other craft work. It is a very popular place to visit but is closed at the moment for renovations. It will hopefully open again later in 2026. At the moment they serve tea, coffee & home bakes in the bookshop.
