We’re Moving!

The shelves have had their last lick of varnish, the elusive electrician was finally cornered and, as I write these words, Rachel is placing the first of 1000’s of new books on the shelves of the new bookshop.

We are moving from our current location on Thursday, 24th & Friday 25th April, so if you need to stock up on books now’s your chance as we will be closed on those days.

In the meantime, our second-hand books are CHF 1, and we still have a large collection of fiction, children’s books and non-fiction titles in stock at our current location. Come in, if only to say a fond goodbye to this place.

The new location is at Rue du Valentin 1. Imagine walking away from the Riponne in the direction of Coop Cité. Turn right at the junction of le Pointu / Bruxelles Café / the Catholic church (currently behind scaffolding) onto the Rue Valentin. We are the second shop on the left. The nearest parking is Parking du Valentin. Buses 1 and 2 stop directly outside. We will be open at 9am on Saturday, 26th April.

The Grand Opening is set for Saturday, 3rd May, when we will ceremoniously sound the conch, serve scones and declare the bookshop open. And you, dear booklover, have a 10% discount on all our new books through the month of May. Simply ask for this at the till. 

As well as books, we are also selling greeting cards (the funny, English kind), pens, stickers, tote bags, postcards, bookmarks. I believe I even saw Rachel ordering a jigsaw puzzle. 

We look forward to seeing you at one of the bookshops very, very soon.
