I have been shopping at Red Lion Books for decades. It doesn't matter if I go into the shop, ring them up, or contact them online, I always get the same terrific service. The people there are knowledgeable, efficient, good humoured and helpful. I cannot count the times they have gone beyond just good service but added a little extra. During the lockdowns they were exceptionable and their attention to my requests helped keep me and my family sane. I cannot recommend them too highly.

Recommended by a relative. Super friendly and helpful staff! Bought The Queens Wardrobe.

A lovely bookshop with knowledgeable staff who are only too happy to recommend titles and help.

My favourite shop in Colchester, what's not to love, it's filled with books! Lovely helpful staff, and if they haven't got a book they will order it in for you and it's quite often available the next day! A million times better than 'the website that will not be named'!

Lovely and friendly staff. Happy to answer my questions and thoughts. Beautiful place warm and caring shop.

Excellent book shop. Always has awesome stock. Very friendly staff and owners.
