New Books

We currently stock approximately 50,000 new titles covering almost every topic imaginable. 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).

As yet we don’t have such a thing as an online ordering system for new titles – save for a few randomly selected books to be found on this website – so should you wish to order or reserve via the website, an online enquiry form is your only option…

Go to our online ENQUIRY & RESERVATION FORM

or you can, of course, telephone the shop on 01629 823272.

New Graphic Novel Display

The new graphic novel display is now up. Ranging from pocket-sized to extra large format, there is something here for any avid reader. Find them opposite the new fiction shelves.

We also have a growing number of second-hand graphic novels which can be found in the Art Room.

Our new Artist-in-Residence for 2018 is……… Jan Flamank

“I am so delighted to be Artist in Residence at Scarthin from March 2018, and am buzzing with ideas about what I want to do. I will spend time each month in this fabulous bookshop, and make new work that is inspired by the place, the people and the wild array of books! I use mixed media in my artwork, and having time in the shop will give me further incentive to include text and stories in my work, and be influenced by the treasure that fills every room there. Some of this artwork will be visible in the shop, but there will also be work that is hidden, awaiting discovery as people browse the shelves and corners of the shop…..

Please come and find me in the art room, I will be there monthly throughout the year. I look forward to meeting lots of lovely Scarthin people in the year ahead.”
