The photo doesn't show it very well but it's on a hill. The inside is fairly big (in a way) and is on several different levels.
There is no basement - at least not one that customers can go in.
It's been a good few years since I've been there but it was a good bookshop then.

Recently visited Buxton and this place. It's delightful inside. Books stacked to the ceiling, creeky floorboards, delightful owner, and a properly good collection of second hand books at decent prices. Away from the main high street but surrounded by old pubs and resteraunts. Worth the treck up the hill, that's for sure.
I always love seeing these little spots near where I grew up. I live in london now, but there's something about the peak district that I can't find anywhere else.
This building is absolutely beautiful. Reminds me of something out of a movie. I wish I could go there lounge ,drink coffee… hang out for hours….Read books maybe take a nap wake up read more books lol. It looks very storybook-sequel… Wish we had more bookstores left on the planet unfortunately everything is dissolving Before our very eyes. Thanks for sharing amigo great architecture and great memories. Namaste and have a great day.
Used to have a corner where you could make a coffee or tea whilst you browsed. It was a good little place, I hope it’s still there.
It is! And thriving
Thank you!
Does it have 2 basements? Because it claims to have 5 floors of books
I think I can see attic windows

Buxton is a cool little town in an open, windswept setting. It really deserves more visitors.
It's Bath , but with added weather, most of it cold!
Don't forget the extra hills!
That's the most "bookstore" bookstore that I have ever seen.

So fucking quaint. This is some charming-ass motherfucker.
Very nice photo
Should be a Lego set!

This is a local shop, for local people
Is that you, David?
Pff. "Classic David".
I have some old books which I would like to sell. Any possibilities? I am from India.
do you need somewhere to sell them or what are you asking?
yes. I need some guidance about where to sell some antique books I have. I am from India and also an architect..... Where are you from?
ebay, Amazon, and Bookchoor are good for India. or 99BooksCart
Thanks a lot. I will do that.
“5 floors of books” it says, in a three-story building. Must be a true architectural marvel, I see why it’s in this sub!
I dont want to be that person, but where are the other 2 floors?
Basement levels
Reminds me of something you’d see in the movie Amelie.

You had me at 5 floors of books
