Winner of The Bookseller's UK Independent Bookshop of the Year award in 2019.

We are a knowledgeable team of self-confessed reading addicts who have been curating and selling beautiful books since 2012.

Our charming independent bookshop is situated in Edinburgh's Stockbridge, where you can find an ever-changing collection of fiction and non-fiction for readers of all ages. We hold close to 2000 titles covering all genres of writing from cookery to travel, from flower arranging to science fiction - and many more topics in between.

Tucked away at the back of our shop is a dedicated children's reading room where any young bookworm is sure to find something inspiring. Complete with a bespoke wall mural and mini-sized reading cushions, our kid's room is also home to Sunday Stories (our popular monthly reading club for children).

In 2020, we launched our online bookshop, which you can browse here.

To complement our literary stock Golden Hare runs an extensive events and workshops programme featuring author talks, book signings and our own reading group. We also have PostBooks, our popular monthly reading subscription service, as well as our Friends of Golden Hare membership scheme (with loads of benefits including an amazing 10% members discount).
