Visited today to pick up a Huey P Newton book I wanted, after not being able to find it on the shelf I was provided with brilliant service by a member of staff who checked to see if they had any in stock. Sadly they did not. They(the member of staff) recommended some great books to me within the same subject and I managed to pick up some good books to read. Overall great service and great knowledge of the books they sell.
The shop should definitely stock more books of this variety for sure though! :)
The children's area with some seating for weary adults & kids is perfect. We often pop in here with our 8yo after our home ed adventures, he is autistic and the location at the back of Foyles is quiet - perfect for some down time for him. He loves the train set. Foyles has saved our day many a time. Thank you & keep up the good work.
Lovely shop with great staff. A really good range of books with a handpicked feel for every store.
A beautiful space filled with beautiful books ���Fab bookshop, fab staff!
