Just a short stroll from Edinburgh’s Botanical Gardens you'll find The Gently Mad, a friendly and welcoming bookshop & bookbinder.

Entering our shop is like stepping back in time, it’s quirky, charming and has the distinctive smell of old leather volumes and dusty books.

We carry a wide selection of natural history, children’s illustrated, modern first editions, books of Scottish interest, architecture, classic fiction, science, etc.

We also sell a range of 19th century mounted prints, vintage postcards, and a
small amount of antiques and curios.
