Nomad Books — Local services in London

I am sadly and badly surprised by how staff have treated me today. I came to buy two books as my friend is leaving London forever. I was holding a goodbye card in my hand when a woman from the shop approached me, and ask me if I am buying that card? I need to buy some books as well, I said. She said no we are closing for lunch now please leave “. I was staring at her in shock for minute . How can you treat people like this! She opened the door, take the card from my hand and let me out. 😳. Lunch is important I’m sure, but is it more important then your clients ? Why did you let me in if you ask me to leave 2min later?!?! Very unprofessional. I was coming to this shop for 20 years. And I am sorry to say but I will think twice...

Five stars throughout. The choice of books on display is thoughtful and inviting a reaction. I went for the book club night which took Amor Towles title 'A gentleman in Moscow' as a theme for the evening.

The event was really well organised and well run, what I really enjoyed was that there was an intelligence, curiosity and warmth present. And everyone was free to say exactly what they thought. The exchange of ideas was fresh and the flow was non-restricted. No one was shy to say how they felt when they were reading the book and what they took out of it. It was an excellent and delightful evening. You may say that this was what the book clubs are for. And you would be absolutely...

This is the third time that one of the shop assistants is rude to me for no reason. I swore I would not go back last year and I went with my 2 year old (who behaved like an angel) to get him some new books this morning and I was very disappointed to see that she is still there and worse than ever. I asked howany stamps I had on my digital card and she replied "I'll tell you when I get the receipt" in a very dry and rude manner. I asked her questions before and I always had the same treatment. This was my last time for good. The books are good but the staff is the worse I ever...
