Pre-Orders and Special Editions
We use our good relationship with publishers and authors to secure limited numbers of signed copies and special editions - we always reserve a number for sale through our shops directly but copies are available online either for collection in one of our shops or for home delivery anywhere in the UK!
Order From the World’s Best Alternative to Amaz*n!
Sometimes it just isn’t possible to get to your local bookshop to buy books in person, and while we can’t offer you the friendly chat, the personal recommendations and that impossible-to-replicate bookshop smell through our website, we can offer you a place to shop online while supporting indie booksellers. That place is:
We have two bookshops, so we have two Bookshop.org pages, and it’s entirely up to you which you use. What you should know is that each purchase you make through one of our ‘storefronts’ benefits the shop with 30% of the purchase price, so while we’d rather see you in person, we’re very grateful that you’ve chosen to make your online purchase here!
Visit one of our Bookshop.org storefronts now to browse books and check out the lists on pages where we’ve selected books we think might interest you!
Our 2024 Christmas Catalogue
*What makes us think this is the best alternative to Amaz.n? Well, for a start, Bookshop.org pays they taxes, contributing to the nation’s coffers in a way Amaz.n never will. Paying the proper price for products, especially books, means that the producer (in this case, the authors, illustrators and publishers) get paid properly. The heavy discounting of books in chain stores and online is the reason why most published authors struggle to make a living from writing. Plus, Bookshop.org is a B-Corp - a corporation dedicated to the public good rather than to enrich one man at the top. We like that!
