Reviews of Phone Booth Book Exchange

I only went to drop off some books, but there are a range of books in there, neatly arranged. Nice to see people using it. I actually had to queue to go in there.

They said the smallest library in the world. Feel free to read or give the book.

Great community project by local residents. We've found a few interesting books here and contributed some (just leave them in the box). Good for fiction, children's books and languages; though selection is ever changing. Nice that it even has a light for the dark winter evenings. Well worth supporting.

Great place to find New, old and unexpected books. Even home to magazines, reference texts and sometimes VHS tapes. Good place in covid-19 lockdown times to drop off for donating if charity shops aren't accepting. Worth a little visit from nearby and worth a regular double check what your next read might be if local.

Great idea from community and amazing place where you can find some books and possible dvds and also you can bring yours old books and leave there for someone having the opportunity to ready.

G. M.

Lovely to see.

It's a great idea and not only people actually use it but also it has become a tourist attraction! I found a full DVD pack of Heroes. Interesting :)

Love it! I literally use it as my local library, taking books, bringing them back or dropping books I don't want anymore. Very happy that there seems to be a German community in Brockley as there are always German books in there too.

Lermentov, Heller, Marquis de Sade - to utter their names is to speak volumes, tomes, compendiums, and all the other items you are likely to find in this red walk-in. How can a creaky door, of long ago forged wrought iron, conjure such revery? As computerisation gradually saps the life out of us, with the promise of one day finishing the job; there, on the pages of an ageing book, harks the recount of better days. That is to say, days when romance wore a more identifiable face. The ethos, that lies somewhere behind this phone box, is one of generosity and trust. Typically, those interested in theft, care not for books. And those interested in books, care not for theft. Wait... slow down... let’s not get sociopolitical. Staying on point, the progenitors, in their literary wisdom, knew this. And so it was, that what may have been a somewhat twee and optimistic idea has translated into a roaring success. The reprobates, in their virtue, relieve them selves elsewhere, in full knowledge of the harm they may do the books. The intelligentsia make hay, even as the sun sets. Perhaps, when night finally falls, an iphone may be trivially used as a torch. And lo, a young member of the public rifles through the catalogue, in the hope of accessing the innocent imaginings of a bygone scholar. Let us hope.

Great place to exchange the books. Take one, leave one policy 😃

Basic white gf wanted pictures with telephone booth. Locals thought quite funny and took snapchats. 10/10 would embarrass again

C. G.

Great library-phonebox. Found an awesome Sci Fi book i wanted to read for some time, in great condition, left another good one ;-) books in various langages as well!

k. P.

So cute 😍 Next time I'll bring some of my old books for an exchange 🤭

N. H.

Beautiful idea, absolutely lovely. Got 2 books.

I was just walking home last night and noticed the old phone booth lit up. On further inspection someone has converted it to a book exchange! This is the cutest thing.
