Are you feeling lucky? Wrapped in our traditional brown paper and string, our lucky dip books are back! In all honesty, you don't even need to be that lucky because all our lucky dips are taken from our excellent stock selection - some signed, some first editions, a lot of lovely hardbacks too.

NEW - 48 HOUR ORDERING! We've struck a new deal with our wholesaler so when you order books with us they arrive within 48 hours! (Courier depending!) So if there are particular titles you know you want, drop us a line and we'll get them in for you ASAP. Poor Jeff. Poor poor Jeffrey.

Thirsty? We've always given out free hot and cold drinks to visitors to the shop, and if you just want to kick back in one of our armchairs for an hour you're more than welcome! We love it when folk read on site, so if you want to bring a book in from home that's cool too.

Ok, but what is a Book Swap? You might have seen us advertise an event every so often called a book swap, so we wanted to take a minute to tell you a bit about them! #booksky💙📚

STICKERS!
