We have a colourfully cosy space at number 30 High Street, Forres, filled with beautiful books. There’s bucketloads of fiction, classics, poetry, SF, fantasy, murder, crime, short stories, weird, and children’s books; there’s a big fat nature section, a well-balanced nurture section, space for biography, history, and arts. If you’ve already got too many books (impossible), we stock a delightful range of greetings cards, stationery and board games.
The best books are the unexpected, un-looked for, the chance discoveries. Under the Leaves might have exactly the book you weren’t looking for.
If you can’t make it to the shop, because, you know, it’s raining or whatever, have a look on our page at Bookshop.org:
