Heffers Bookshop Description
Heffers has been selling books in Cambridge since 1876 and is part of the fabric of the historic city centre. Now part of the Blackwell's group, we pride ourselves on being a proper bookshop, packed with a vast range of titles from all kinds of subjects to explore, and with knowledgeable and friendly booksellers who are ready to offer advice and recommendations. Our huge Children's department is the best in the area!
Heffers also stocks an impressive range of non-book items including a fantastic selection of board games - we even run a regular games night called Board Games in the Bookshop.
Our literary event schedule is a busy one, with at least one event taking place most weeks throughout the year, and we are also the bookseller of choice for the Cambridge Literary Festival.

We pitched up at a board game event and it was excellent. We're not locals and Everyone was very welcoming. Some good games that we ended up buying at a discount.
We also ordered a DD book on their online website and the customer service was brilliant (thank you Joan) after I was not in to collect the Rec delivery parcel. We will definitely be back and use Blackwells /Heffers again in the future. Thank you
Trip down Memory Lane..remember buying the first book for my History degree here back in 1991. A Cambridge institution and rightly so.
Superb service and great conversation! Greatest experience in a book shop I've ever had.....and I've been in lots of book shops.
Literally the best book shop I’ve ever come across, sells so much! Staff are always friendly and helpful
I love this shop, as bookshops should be. Take a look, you'll be pleasantly surprised, I promise.
Has to be my favourite Cambridge bookshop.
Fantastic service and Phil the manager is just a gem. Best bookshop in the UK ��
Fantastic bookshop. My 18 year old son couldn’t believe it.
Fantastic book shop with huge games dept, music dept, medical dept where you can purchase a cuddly soft toy Black Death or STD for the ones you �!
Discovered this fantastic book shop while on a day trip to Cambridge with a friend. I can't wait to come back and visit again. The layout was fantastic and the whole store is well laid out. This is now my favourite shop in the whole of Cambridge!
A great bookshop, a friendly and professional staff with a big range of books.
Could not find my way around here but staff was friendly and helpful. Had a better experience at Topping & Company in Let.
