What our customers say about us!

This is a tiny but fantastic bookshop. Don’t expect a short visit - the owner will chat to you about anything and everything! She is extremely knowledgeable about books of... read more all genres and many other things too. There is a very good range of adult and children’s fiction crammed into such a small space. A must for bibliophiles!
October 21, 2022Impressed by the window display, I ventured inside - to find a wonderful haven of books. Character, charm & charisma greeted me! It may be a small shop, but it... read more has a heart as big as Scotland. I loved it! A must-visit if you’re in Grantown. Love books? You’ll love this shop!
April 28, 2022What a find! We were in the area and my son asked if there was a nearby bookshop.
When we entered, the owner was on the phone, but as soon... read more as she finished she welcomed us and asked what type of book my son was looking for. She spent a long time recommending lots of books we hadn’t heard of before, she then left him to narrow down the options. He chose three books and left a very happy customer.
I couldn’t resist and also made three purchases!

January 22, 2022Friendly staff, excellent and eclectic range of books to sort all tastes.
Staff actively encourage youngsters to engage with the books - none of the ‘if you touch... read more it you buy it’ you sometimes see in the larger book chains.
They could not have been more helpful for my two daughters - and even gave our youngest a book gift when she couldn’t decide which ones to take and was unsure about a new author.
Great to see independents

October 9, 2021So thrilled to visit The Bookmark again. I went in with a suggested list of books by Scottish authors & came away with all of them! The staff are so... read more helpful & friendly & went backwards & forwards finding them all for me. I work on the basis that you can never have too many books, so I was in my element!
Seriously, it's a great, independent bookshop. I'm sure that if I lived nearer I would be in there every week!
