Voltaire & Rousseau is a charming second hand bookshop tucked away in a lovely area of Glasgow. The bookshop is bigger than I expected with thousands of books so if you plan on visiting, give yourself plenty of time to rummage.

Based on other reviews I stopped by this shop to see if I could purchase gifts from my wife and daughter. I met Ashley who was so very helpful; taking me about the store and helping me to understand the types of materials and the various colored patterns. What I read from other reviews is very true, the store assistants are there to help. What a truly interesting and beautiful selection of items to choose from. Thank you Ashley.

Reviewed By annecallaghan - Glasgow, United Kingdom
This lovely little gift shop is close to home and has lots of little treasures that friends might get as gifts, or I might keep for myself- love the little ceramic houses as ornaments, and the prints too. Love that it is all artists that work in Scotland that are the suppliers.
