It seems the best book shops hide behind a tough, gritty and casually cool exterior. Think Out of Print Books on battered Canterbury Road or the piles and piles of paperbacks at Goulds’.
All Arts Book Shop is no exception. An artistic oasis in an intensely industrial estate.**The store caters to the fanatic art fiend as well as the casual collector, definitely favoring the former. With niches such as ‘oceanic tribal art’ to needlework and dolls, All Arts isn’t lying when they say their collection ‘covers everything’.
Thankfully it doesn’t cost to browse, because just like art, art books don’t come cheap.
