Lovely bookshop who will order any book they don't have in stock.

I wanted a particular book for my little girl, so browsers ordered it in for me....it arrived in good time... But I was so busy I couldn't get to them, so I asked if I could pay over the phone and they post it.... They did this without hesitation and it was a very quick delivery....so I now have a very happy little girl ��� thank you browsers

Helpful, friendly and kind enough to give me a proof copy of a book out in September by my son's favourite author. He will devour it! Thank you.
