An excellent bookshop in the centre of Cambridge, with a huge range of both academic and more…read moremainstream texts. I was after a copy of Pevsner, (eclectic tastes, I'm afraid) and they had the full range in stock. Great stuff. Very knowledgeable and helpful staff. A long queue formed on my visit, but they got in 2 extra staff to tackle it after less than a minute. Recommended.
They don't take refunds on statute books (a book which has the law of something on it, in my case…read morethe Companys Act, 2006 and related laws). Something they didn't tell me when I first purchased the product. Something that wasn't reflected in the receipt. Something that wasn't on a sign on the counter. All they could offer was "sorry". What is the reason for this, I asked? Because statute books can be photocopied and returned. But that is the same for ALL books in theory. Actually it is even less likely for statute books, because YOU CAN PRINT IT FOR FREE ON THE INTERNET. I imagine they must have other nonsensical policies out there just waiting to bite you. Out of principle, I won't be buying anything from this place ever. Amazon here I come.

One small downside is the somewhat bloated cost of books here; most of them are significantly cheaper even new from Amazon. Otherwise I'd easily give this shop five stars.

This BUT is the café's air-condition. I understand that when it is 28° outside, they want to cool their spaces down a bit, but what they are doing is way over the top. I have to bring additional layers which I put on *inside* the café, which just feels completely stupid. Plus air-conditioning is extremely energetically demanding (much more than heating), so in the price of my drink I am effectively covering the cost of them making me feel unpleasant.
I can't believe how long it took me to find this Cambridge gem.

They seem to do a good trade in second-hand consoles and some of the rarer, collectible stuff and sell lots of Japanese imports. If the shop isn't too busy, they'll happily plug in a game for you to try, or just let you have a go on whatever they've been playing when they didn't have customers. The owner has been trading games in Cambridge for as long as I can remember, must be 15 or 20 years now. Customer service is very good, if you do buy a second-hand game which doesn't work properly, they refund or replace with no fuss at all.

I studied abroad at Cambridge 4-5 years ago and still dream about the amazing sandwiches at Sam…read moreSmiley's. It was my favorite place to get delicious sandwiches for 2pounds. Sam Smiley is a deli, so there's no seating or any frills. When you walk in, there is a display of 20 different types of sandwiches. Prosciutto, Mozzarella, Turkey, Chicken, Indian Curries, Paninis, vegetarian sandwiches and more. The most fun I had was trying to pick a new delicious sandwich. All the sandwiches come on a skinny baguette, a piece of lettuce, and some delicious insides. My favorite was the Tandoori Chicken Sandwich (or was it the Chicken Tikka??? I don't remember). You point, pay, and eat. They sell out of the good sandwiches around 1:30pm, so make sure you come well before then! I really would go back to Cambridge just to have a sandwich from this place. We don't have anything equivalent in San Francisco. Boo!!

Also, maybe it was just the time of day and they were out of most of the sandwiches, but there were only 3 to choose from (and that was at 1pm, so late, but not ridiculously late for lunch).

They buy and re sell all sorts of goods from DVD's and games to guitars and TV's and they are good at creating decent prices! This treasure chest is located on Mill Road which I am beginning to call 'The Road of Wonders'! There is something a little off about dear old Cambridge Resale and that is the gun department they seem to be fashioning at the back of the store. I haven't yet enquired into this and maybe it's best not to?! That aside, it's a great place with a wealth of things to buy and don't forget, they don't just sell to you, they by from you too.

He also has a small selection of cloisonné and jade etc. too. Highly recommended.
