About Us

Our independent bookshop is located on lovely, leafy Pitshanger Lane. We stock over 3000 titles, and can order hundreds of thousands more in just 24 hours.

As well as books, we sell cards, wrapping paper, stationery and games. We pride ourselves on our friendly service and personal recommendations.

If your purchase is a present, we can gift wrap it for you; if you can’t get out to the shops we can deliver to your home.

We love books, we love reading and we love talking about books. If you do too, pop in next time you are passing; we would love to see you.

Book Groups

If you are interested in joining a local Book Group, do let us know. There are many Groups in the area, and we can put you in touch with one of them, depending on what your interests are (for example, one of them concentrates exclusively on non-fiction). If it is your turn to chose a book for your Group and you need some ideas, do pop in or drop us a line.

We have lots of suggestions, as well as feedback from other Groups. And if you are buying all the books from us on behalf of your Group, we can give you a discount.

Local Authors

There are many talented authors in the neighbourhood who have written books on all sorts of subjects.
