On the Grid : Golden Hare Books

"Golden Hare Books is proud to be an independent bookshop with a love and appreciation for book design at its heart. This is why every detail of the shop, from their bespoke layout, right down to every book on the shelves, is given care and attention to detail. They want the aesthetics of books to grab the curiosity of customers by using maximum display space. With this in mind, they have styled the shop to show as many outward facing books as possible, and these are always changed regularly, so you should never see the same books in any spot twice!" - CRE-ATE

Fabulous book launch event hosted at the Golden Hare. Interviewer was very knowledgeable about the author and his books. The shop had a really excellent range of books and genres. Useful cards on books to help with selections too. I'll definitely return to shop there.

Lovely bookstore & the book selection are quite different from the mainstream ones. The children section was cozy & we spend a longer time there selecting books for the little ones! Truly a gem & must go!

Because of Edinburgh's rich literary history, we made an effort to visit a handful of local bookstores. There are two others right next to Golden Hare, and I strongly suggest checking them all out. Golden Hare was probably our favorite, and where we wound up finding a lot of new gems to treasure. I wish I could remember names, but the person working at the time was extremely friendly and helpful. He answered questions, made suggestions, and clearly knew what he was talking about. What's more is that the shelves are filled with little notes and suggestions from the various employees. These weren't just generic reviews...You could almost get a sense of the employee's unique personalities based on their suggestions. All in all, this was an A+ experience, and we're so glad we took the walk to check out these stores. Support local book stores!

If you’re someone who loves bookstores, don’t skip over this one. Wonderful mixture between popular and unique titles. Store was beautiful, staff was very kind and we were able to pick up a book my wife was looking for! I’d highly recommend!

Lovely independent book shop, which had friendly, helpful, welcoming staff and a lovely and very interesting range of fiction and non-fiction titles, most of which I had never come across before, and whose authors I wasn't aware of. They have some lovely gifts too, including a range of Golden Hare items, a range of themed poetry birthday cards and some very fancily wrapped bars of chocolate. They have a shelf of books that are all wrapped, with a hand written, card luggage label attached, which gives a brief synopsis of the book, but no clue to the title or author, thus an intriguing way to try out something different. My family and I spent a lovely time browsing on the afternoon of our arrival for a brief stay in Stockbridge and I enjoyed it so much, that I went back for a second visit a few days later, at which point, being close to closing time, they were getting ready for a promotional event. Very well worth a visit, it is also just round the corner from Edinburgh Mercantile: 'The New Curiosity Shop' and the picturesque Circus Lane.

Cute bookshop with welcoming staff where you’re bound to pick up an interesting book or more! They didn’t have the book I wanted, but they were happy to make recommendations and I was pleased with the alternative books that I did purchase.

Swoon. I am completely taken by this independent bookshop. - Head over heels! This is the book haven of my dreams, with a warm fire and suitably good tunes in the background. Golden Hare is all classics and interesting new reads, pointing you boldly in the direction of something different. And I really, really like that. I popped in for a present, and after quite the browse, found the perfect book for the occasion. I had to show some serious restraint because so, so many of the books stood out to me. I loved the super-cute brown tags which hung from each of the shelves and categorised the shop into genres. They also had a pretty neat looking selection of graphic novels; something I've been meaning to get stuck into for a while. Service was chirpy, which was the cherry on the cake. I just couldn't resist telling them how lovely their bookshop is, and now I can't resist telling you.

This is a uniquely decorated shop. Its adorable. I love perusing bookshops whenever I travel and this one was lovely to skim through. They didn't have the book I was looking for but I enjoyed the time spent there also. Bright books against white walls, its like a candyshop!

Such a cute store! They have great books, many that have unique covers. The books tend to be more expensive here than other places, but it is still worth a visit just to look around!
