Reviews of Five Leaves Bookshop

X. M.

We're not local but have arranged a couple of books as birthday gifts for a friend near Nottingham. She is a supporter of this bookshop. Five Leaves have gone above and beyond to provide an excellent service. It makes me wish we were able to shop with them in person. Service this good is a rarity in the modern world so this is definitely a small business to support. Thank you to Five Leaves.

A unique selection of books. A very big poetry section. Far-Left political and cultural texts. Very good to browse. Quiet, peaceful atmosphere. Staff are very helpful, though reserved, and can be a bit gloomy at times.

G. P.

Well set out independent bookshop. Excellent selection for a small shop. Staff are knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. Can order books if not in stock.

J. C.

Great little shop. Always find something a bit different to read.

C. R.

Great choice of books, friendly staff & customers

D. S.

An excellent small but well stocked independent bookshop with a friendly owner. Very impressed by the thoughtful and well curated selection of books laid out on the main tables and in the various subject areas around the room. If you are in Nottingham and want to browse and buy books this is the place to go.

This bookshop is a small but perfectly-formed gem located in an alleyway in Nottingham city centre. On entering, you are greeted by a member of staff but they are not pushy, they just say Hello. You can browse by section including poetry, fiction and feminism (my personal favourite). If you can't find what you want in store, they will happily order in a book for you. If you're not sure what to get, the display table always has great books on there. As if that weren't enough, Five Leaves publishes its own books, they also run literary events and a book club. It is the thinking book lover's sanctuary. I adore it, I could not recommended it more highly.

P. R.

Good range of stock selected by knowledgeable booksellers

An independent bookshop will always be better than a big one that has shops all over the country. Five Leaves is a beautiful, cozy bookshop, which although small, it is is a much 'bigger' place. They also have events for very specific audiences. Very good bookshop. They also have funny shirts, postcards and pins.

A. D.

Five Leaves is a really great small bookshop. It's friendly, with an accessible range of fiction, poetry and children's books. When I visited the staff member was giving his experience of reading a particular new novel to a customer who was thinking of it as a gift. So a better service than that of the corporate competitor! Further into the shop are some sections on how the world works, and how to change it, and these are well worth a browse...

S. L.

Lovely independent bookshop, helpful staff and lots of titles to choose from

M. N.

Hidden down a side alley is the best bookshop in Nottingham. Small, but well stocked with a great range of books. The staff are friendly and helpful. A must visit.

Simply wonderful, a shop that epitomises all that is good about independent providers. They stock a great range of books and magazines, in a welcoming environment, with friendly, knowledgeable staff. They also organise fantastic book launches & events on a regular basis

R. B.

An outstanding independent bookshop in central Nottingham. Particularly strong in politics, LGBT, poetry and literature in translation. Highly knowledgeable staff, who are also paid decently. Good mail order too.

A. B.

Five Leaves are my go to book shop for order books to be delivered. They are very responsive and often by books arrive the next day! I hope to visit the shop itself one day but for now I wouldn't buy books online anywhere else!

M. C.

An amazing independent bookshop in Nottingham. Helpful and knowledgeable staff. A nice range of cards, a few CD's, tea towels badges and some great talks and poetry events out of hours to keep a look out for.

J. J.

Really good selection of books and they've always managed to order for me any random book that I'm looking for that they don't have in the store. Staff's very friendly too.

C. W.

A little independent book store, off the beaten track. Just the titles alone are enough to make you stop and think. A great selection of titles, most of which I'd not heard of before I went in (indeed, I hadn't even heard of many of the authors). Well worth a look, and a good place to look closer at the way you view the world.

B. C. S.

Very nice local bookshop obviously with a lot of heart and community. The selection is a bit woke for my taste while limited in many areas, and some of the kids section truly worrying I'm very happy it exists and certainly deserves you're trade if it stocks books to your taste.

S. A.

One of my first stops in Nottingham has been this little slice of bookish wonderland. Tucked away in a cosy alleyway of the heart of Nottingham city, this independent bookshop has a lot to offer when it comes to good titles, especially politics and philosophy. From Edward Said to Hannah Arendt, Peter Singer, Michel Foucault and more. Spent quite some time in here and missed my bus, but hey, win some, lose some.

R. D.

Worth hunting out down a somewhat unpreposessing passageway. Excellent range of Nottinghamshire local interest titles, their own radical publishing and a good selection of general interest stock.

F. C.

Definitively the best bookshop in town. The shop is hidden away from the crowds and the noise of the busy Old Market Square. The collection of books is fantastic, it is quite hard to end up there without buying one

P. A.

A fascinating independent radical bookshop in Nottingham city centre. Small but a great range of books, friendly staff and a varied and extensive programme of book readings and discussions.

M. H.

Nice book shop, fairly small so not a great range of books but the choice on offer is good, worth a look

S. H.

Great bookshop tucked away right in the City centre. Ordered books arrive v quickly. Loads of events and author talks. Brilliant.

F. H.

Helpful staff, you can buy books from local writers there. Nice bookshop in middle town🙂 every week are events there with interesting hosts too. Lovely place.

P. F.

The shop has got lots of interesting and educative books for kids

S. M.

A great little bookshop with a good list of critical thinking as well as plenty of reasonably priced events happening. They also publish a few short works that capture the spirit of the shop.

N. G.

Cute little bookstore hidden away. Great LGBT section and non fiction picks. Definitely worthy of a browse!!

Exciting, educational, independent books shelves upon shelves. Warm welcome and numerous events organised by a lovely team.

A. C.

Lovely local bookshop. Staff are very helpful and they have a great selection.

T. H.

Excellent independent bookshop. Specialist literature and poetry. But, you can order whatever you want and Amazon don't get a penny.

P. K.

A fabulous independent book shop with a dedicated team of volunteers helping to run it. A focus for radical and left politics as well as literary excellence.

M. P.

Love this bookstore. A great place to walk around and be surrounded by books.

A huge thank you to all the staff at Five Leaves Bookshop who went to a great deal of trouble to find and obtain a book for me which I wasn't sure even existed! All my interactions with them were friendly and helpful; nothing was too much trouble. The book is absolutely perfect, and arrived the day after I asked for it to be posted. My first purchase from here, but it won't be my last! Outstanding service. Thank you.
