Yes! If we don't have a particular book in stock we can usually source it from our suppliers within 24 hours. If it's a new release you can pre order it with us and we'll let you know the second it arrives! If you live within ten miles of the shop we'll even deliver it for you. Our book ordering service can be found here.
Our store is uncluttered and there is ample space for wheelchair access, our signage is clear and our vibe is relaxed. If there's anything our team can do to support any specific access needs just let us know and we'll do our best to accommodate.
We are indeed a dog's best bookshop friend - ask for biscuits and water should a bookish refuel be required. For your dog, not you, that is. All we ask is that you keep a close eye on your four legged friend and watch out for any accidents....
Follow our social media posts and sign up for our monthly newsletter to be the first to know about author signings, spoken word shows and special celebratory events.
Our stock is rapidly changing to accommodate new releases so we don't have every title listed. However every title you can dream of can be easily found and ordered on our online platform
You could live three lifetimes and maybe still not get through all the books that will be recommended your way such are the galaxies of writers who can be cross referenced and bundled together as 'something similar to'. If we don't have a title in stock, we will endeavour to have it on your doorstep within the week. Please recommend something we won't be able to put down, too.
