A perfect snapshot of an independent bookshop.
Pupils from St Colman’s came to pick books thanks to your pay-it-forward donations. This is what shopping local does - big chains and online stores don’t give back to the community.
Thank you! They’ll be back in the New Year to spend the remainder.

As a small #IndependentBookshop, I can't give you the massive discounts that chain stores can. What I can give you is 10% off, a FREE tote bag, and a proof copy of a book until midnight on Sunday. Use COLOUR at the checkout. Shares much appreciated xx

Would you like a book for just £2? I'm having another clear out and offering these books at a ridiculous price. Please note that some might have slight damage, but tbh, a lot are uncollected and unpaid for orders. Yes, I know, take a deposit in the future 😭

THEY’RE BACK!
The 12 Books of Christmas were a big hit last year, and people have been asking, so they're back! 12 wrapped books, one surprise every month of 2026. Prices from £48 (or £5 off if you reuse last year’s box). All I need from you is the preferred genre (if any), and I’ll do the rest.
