New Books | Scarthin Books Cromford

New Books

We currently stock approximately 50,000 new titles covering almost every topic imaginable. To paraphrase our 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.

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…

Stephen Booth Book Signing

August 25

Stephen Booth will be back with us for his annual book signing, in line with the release of his newest book in the Cooper and Fry series, ‘Fall Down Dead.’

He will be in the Art room from 2:30-4:30pm. No booking is necessary but we advise people to get down early as it’s likely to be popular!

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.”
