Quaint and perfect spot for books, a chat with the kind and knowledgeable owner, and meeting cool people! Excellent place to find second hand English books of all sorts.

A short but pleasant experience. The prices are a little higher as generally they are imported because they are mostly English text, the place is small with books stacked to the ceilings. A cute and cosy place for a little meander or if you’re actually trying to find something the system isn’t super detailed, so although it’s broken down in to general areas there didn’t seem much organisation otherwise. Thanks

I liked the vibe of this bookstore. The walls are lined with rows and piles of books, and somehow, despite the large number, they are very well organized. Found The Stand by Stephen King and The Firm by John Grisham.

Lovely second hand bookstore with lots of books in English on a variety of topics. Books prices are usually on the first page and slightly above average. However, variety and quality of books is also above average (e.g., found a first edition of an old economics book, hardcover €15). Conditions are generally good, with some fair. Totally recommend.

I really loved this place at first, as other reviews say it is one of the few English bookstores in Paris and is filled with books. But after awhile I realize they don't import newer stock very frequently, and a lot of their books are a bit old and musty (even if there are other used books from time to time it would be nice). Still the staff are very nice and it's not easy now for bookstores, so definitely worth a visit.
