The Heath Bookshop

A very cute independent book shop in the heart of King’s Heath. A selection of fiction and non fiction books as well as new releases. Comfy chairs and outdoor seating available.Books ranging from classics, LGBTQ+, to hobbies and young adult. There’s something for everyone.Very friendly atmosphere with gentle music. Some lovely rare finds too! I will be visiting the Heath Bookshop again.

Calling all book lovers !!!!This store is a must, the team/owners are so welcoming and passionate.The space is inviting and calming.And for me it's a fantastic safe space for my daughter to enjoy her passion for books.If your a hard-core book lover or a novice just starting out I can't recommend this store highly enough!!Thank you for all your help, recommendations and time you gave to myself and my daughter. It was an absolute pleasure spending time in your store

Lovely atmosphere, lovely lady looking after visitors, she even allowed us to have our own pastry with the nice coffee she made for us

So great to find an independent bookshop with coffee! On a Saturday early afternoon. the place was pleasantly busy with local people browsing the books. Cheerful and friendly proprietor. Nice ambience. The seats were comfy and the coffee very nice. I drink a lot of coffee and this was good coffee.

I've been a regular at The Heath since it opened and I just love it. The selection of titles available is fantastic - always a great mix of current releases and older modern fiction, plus lovely editions of literary classics. They have smaller selections of other genres but they are up-to-date and well-varied, offering something for all tastes. If they don't have something in stock they'll do everything they can to order it for you, and more often than not it's there within a few days - well worth the wait to know you're supporting a local business instead of adding to the coffers of Amazon and the like.The Heath also hold lots of events with authors and editors from far and wide, already attracting amazing names from the literary world despite not yet being 6 months old. It's a testament to how hard Catherine and Claire work that they're making these events possible, and always at a low cost to the customer.Catherine and Claire, along with their lovely volunteers, are always helpful and welcoming, ready for a natter if the shop isn't too busy but never unprofessional and always mindful of other customers who may need assistance. I've never felt hurried out or ignored, even on their busiest days. More than anything, their passion for the shop and all things bookish shines through. It's a real pleasure to see them running their business and interacting with the local community, spreading the love of reading with everyone who enters. They deserve every success.
