Harpenden Books

Sold so much more than I was expecting cards, notebooks, games and so on great local shop for kids presents and staff really helpful can order anything in.

It's really nice to still see a well stocked book store. Nothing can beat the smell of new books. The shop is small, but it's laid of 2 floors, so there are plenty of books selection from all generic. Hopefully the shop is there to stay as it appears reading the book might be a thing from the past, for many people, especially the younger generation.

I would definitely recommend visiting this book store, and we are definitely going back too.

Thanks you.

Asked for a book with a specific cover to be checked via e-mail, staff member replied promptly and found a copy with the specific cover I wanted. Was asked if I wanted to reserve it, which I did and went there the following day to purchase. Lovely service and shop. Would use again.

Don't be fooled, it's a Waterstones branch, but it pulls off "cozy local bookstore" exceptionally well.

A GREAT place to browse a collection of some really intreguing books. (Wish I could read them all!) The staff are simply fantastic! They manage to identify and source all the books I have needed. It's a great (and safe) place to meet and browse too.

What a gem of a shop!
Prompt service beginning with a telephone inquiry and then served by a wonderful and helpful gentleman!
A bookshop as it should be !

Great staff that always seem to be excited to talk about books, which is a dream for me! Good selection for a small store and it's super easy to use the online system.

Excellent range of books on a variety of topics. Lovely people, great service.

Great little book shop which is themed as a old style local book shop. But as its part of Waterstones has a good selection of books and gifts for all ages.

Amazing bookshop with wide variety of interesting books plus great gift ideas of presents on affordable scale. Knowledgeable staff who are always happy to help.

Great bookshop. Good layout, good bright environment. Excellent selection, helpful staff.

OK so it is really Waterstones but that does mean an impressive selection and regular offers plus Waterstones points will transfer.

Properly curated independent style bookshop staffed by people conversant with the stock, but backed by Waterstones with its speed of ordering in.

A proper bookshop, very helpful and friendly staff. I would highly recommend it.

Great book store to meet all your reading needs with friendly, helpful staff

I was looking for gifts for 4-years-old and the staff was really helpful in finding something suitable.

Plenty books. Nice people. Great bookstore.

Always polite and good stock for such small shelf area.

Very well managed and stocked, the staff really care.

Really lovely lady behind the counter was incredibly helpful.
