Buying online
I have been buying my books online from this independent bookshop for over a year .Sometimes buying in advance of publication. Books are always sent out on time and packaged well so that they arrive safely.
I found no problems with ordering online to receiving my books.
Exceptional service would give 10 stars if I could.

Excellent Stuff!
The Cleeve Bookshop is excellent. Always get the best books (signed especially), price is great, communication is awesome (as sometimes things are pushed back by the publishers and us buyers are kept in the loop), packaging is superb (no jiffy bags here) ... so all-round A1 service!

Great experience - delivery of preordered book on publishing day
Very friendly staff and quick responses! Preordered book came on the publishing day and not after as the big bookshops usually do it. Will definitely order again!

Great independent bookshop with smashing service
The Cleve Bookshop is my go-to for online book orders. They have a great selection of titles, including many signed first editions of new and forthcoming books; many of the books are offered with a saving of c. 10%; and Will, the owner, is always on hand with fast and friendly assistance.
