Cogito Books Testimonials

Walk into Cogito books and itʼs like youʼre in another world - a step back in time to a world of calm and civilization, with soothing music playing and comfortable settees. The service is personalised and unhurried; suggestions are offered showing good old-fashioned knowledge of, and interest in, the subject area. I particularly enjoy browsing the "must read" section behind the counter, usually concluding that I must read all of them, and the wonderful selection of books of local interest by local authors.

Always very helpful staff. Easy to find books. Will look up and order any requests and notify when available in the shop. My husband finds the CD selection useful. Also impressed how local authors are supported and promoted. Their commitment to the local literary festival excellent.

This is a fabulous bookshop. Excellent and knowledgeable customer service, a great selection of books for all age groups and a comfortable and welcoming environment. Definitely deserving of all the acclaim itʼs received recently.

What a lovely little bookshop this is! My children could probably spend all day here and I get the feeling this wouldnʼt actually be a problem! The atmosphere is welcoming and I felt quite happy sitting on the floor next to my daughter as we browsed through LOTS of different books in the childrenʼs section before finally making the all important choice. Meanwhile, my son was more than comfortable on the sofa, contemplating just which dinosuar book had the best information. This is exactly what you want from a bookshop and, when we finally did get to the till, the friendly service did not disappoint. Oh, and I mustnʼt forget, theyʼve got lots of good books too!!
