About
A small independent bookshop in Penrith with a focus on both adult and children’s titles, including fiction and non-fiction. The selection spans multiple genres without overwhelming choice. A twisting staircase leads to the first floor, where adult books are shelved among creaking floorboards. The shop also stocks book-related gifts and has a dedicated space for browsing. Staff are known for sourcing specific titles on request. Visitors often note the helpful service when selecting children’s books. The shop has expanded recently, with part of the space given over to a relaxed area alongside the retail offerings.
Customer Reviews
I like Hedgehog books, and they’ve just expanded so they must be doing well: but they don’t have a lot of books, maybe a few hundred. About 2/3 of the space is dedicated to book-associated gifts or relaxing space. Obviously they can order anything you want, and the staff are very helpful, but I wouldn’t go there to luxuriate in a richness of books. Maybe the paucity is connected to the extension, I’ll try again in a couple of months.
Great selection of children’s books and the lady working was so kind and helpful to us. She spoke with our 3 year old and helped us to find the perfect book for her.
Love this little gem of a bookshop, they go above and beyond to get the book your looking for, all staff are so friendly and helpful.
