St Ives Bookseller

A quaint little bookshop that is well stocked for such a small space!! All the books are good too, no rubbish in here. Some lovely local books for children along with super friendly/helpful staff….. you’ll never leave empty handed!

A fantastic bookshop, wide range of books, many signed too. Exactly the sort of bookshop for reading aficionados.

Excellent friendly service received when seeking a signed version of a particular book. Great communication and nicely packaged on arrival. Highly recommended.

Bought about five books about Cornwall. Lovely helpful staff. Highly recommended.

I visited the Falmouth store and they didn’t have a book in stock that I have been after, but they called over to the St Ives Bookseller store and they ordered it in for collection for me within a few days. Unfortunately I later wasn’t able to get to the shop in time before I left Cornwall and so I contacted the shop and asked if I could pay for postage and if it could be shipped to me. They immediately said yes and sent me the invoice, 5 days later I have the book and 2 free book marks too! I’m suuuper happy (especially as the design of the series got changed and I loved the originals so finding them has been a challenge!) thank you so much!

Very rude staff.Edited because of reply: I had emailed twice and I was following it up because no-one had got back to me. Email is obviously better when people are busy, but equally I did need to know if there was any news. It was not the rejection, but the attitude. I later had a lovely email from Alice, explaining a lot of things. I assume Alice is the boss and it was some sales assistant with the appalling telephone manner. I can't fault Alice at all. She was helpful and polite. Unfortunately another staff member lets her down.

Love this bookshop. Best in St Ives. Such a good selection and lovely staff.
