No Dogs Policy (June 2019)

Following several unfortunate incidents and an ever-growing canine population in our corridors, we have decided, with some regret, that it is time to revert to the practice of only a few years ago of asking our customers not to bring dogs into the bookshop.

This policy change has been hard for our staff to
agree, but we think it is the right course of action.

Assistance Dogs are, of course, exempt.

New Books

As well as second hand books we have approximately 50,000 new books in stock, covering almost every topic imaginable, including the latest releases, classics, and curated small press collections.

To paraphrase our previous new books buyer, Guy, from the video about the bookshop; rather than stock many copies of a single book, we prefer to stock single copies of many books, therefore allowing us to cram as many books into the shop as is possible.

Eve and David keep our stock brimming with new releases and a fair section of the ground floor is given over to showcasing these new titles. The paperback displays are refreshed at the start of each month (and have £1 off) and the new hardback releases are displayed with between £1  -£8 off.

If we don’t have what you’re looking for on the shelf, then please tell us – we may just take your recommendation and start stocking it.  And if you require something ordering, we can usually get it in within 24 hours (if in print and still available).

If you aren’t able to visit the shop in person we offer a number of ways to purchase new books from us.

1) via our own New Books Ordering Website (new releases & selected titles) – CLICK HERE

2) via the new Bookshop .org platform, from which we receive a commission – CLICK HERE

3) by contacting us directly to arrange ordering and posting out your books – nickscarthin@gmail.com – 01629 823272
