It is quite a small shop packed with as much stuff as they can fit in so it is pretty crampt and hard to get round and it can be difficult to ind what you want quickly. Their range of products is fairly hit and miss and their special offers regularly change so you need to keep an eye on what they have. They have a good range of popular books and craft materials as well at stationery and gifts (great forpicking up little stocking fillers). Staff seem fairly cheerful and are happy to help on the whole, quite a pleasant little shop despite the lack of space.

Coleman's Art shop is located on the High Street in Stamford. Unfortunately it is only a small…read morestore and can sometimes get very cramped and difficult to view the products on display. It stocks a wide range of craft items, with a very good range for card makers to buy; there is also a good range of painting related products on display. Do not miss the small room at the back as sometime products are not where you may expect them to be and often I will find an item in the room at the rear that I expected to find in the front of the shop, and just presumed they were out of stock of. The main staff are very helpful, knowledgeable and friendly however I do find that if someone has been brought in from the stationary shop next door to cover a shift then their product knowledge is poor. They are also very willing to try and order in an out of stock item for you.

The prices are a little bit steep for some of the items, but then on other occasions, you can grab a real bargain when you look around.

There are several till points located around the shop meaning the queues do not get too bad compared to some other shops. They sell a good range of greetings cards and wrapping paper, stationery and crafts materials as well as CDs, DVDs, magazines and books although I am sure their range of books has decreased in recent years and now concentrates more on the celebrity novels and maps than most other genres. There are often good deals on many items although W H Smiths is not always the cheapest option. At the rear of the shop there is also a Costa Coffee which does not seem to get too busy considering it is only small and is a pleasant way to give yourself a break from shopping.

It's a beautiful book shop on the high street of Ely with friendly staff willing and able to offer their expertise and advice. This book shop is a treasure and you could spend hours immersed in the mountain of books available and what's more, they will even offer you hot beverages whilst you shop or read. I am very partial to taking trips to Topping & Co just for the pure pleasure of how worldly I feel when I enter, not to mention the scent of new books which I just love. This has to be one of my favourite book shops around Cambridgeshire, without a doubt!
