Shop Reopening (12th April)

REPOPENING...

We are looking forward to being able to reopen for browsing on Monday 12th April. 

Our hours will be:
Mon-Fri 9.30-16.30
Saturday 10.00- 13.30 

We will of course be adhering to strict practices to ensure all our customers can browse safety. 

- Face coverings are still mandatory, all customers must wear a face covering unless exempt
- Customers will be invited to sanitise their hands when arriving and leaving the shop
- Preferably contactless payments
- Maximum of 4 customers at a time
- Till screens and social distancing will remain in place and we will be regularly wiping down all touch points

Preorders can be collected at the door if preferred, and we will still be posting out UK wide to ensure we can fulfil all our customers bookish needs!

We have stocked our shelves with plenty of new releases and will have many in-shop special offers from Monday!

Thank you to all our customers for the continued support throughout the last couple of months, we cannot wait to welcome you back into the shop again

Due to the latest government guidelines unfortunately the shop will be closed for browsing from Thursday 5th until at least December 2nd.
The good news is that we will be open for collections and our virtual bookshop remains very much open too!

- We will be open most days for collections- please email ahead if you’re wanting to drop by at a particular time. Please email, Facebook, phone or use the online contact form to place an order. We also have an option for collection on our website at the checkout. If readily available, we would expect most orders in the next working day.

- We are happy to offer postal orders (UK wide). We now have a flat rate charge of £2.99 for the majority of orders (same applies on our website). 

- We are also willing to deliver within a 5-mile radius of the shop. There isn’t an option for this on our website so please phone/email us for this service.

- We now have over 300 products on our website! Plenty of gift ideas in our ‘Christmas’ section too. It was our previous lockdown project so please help support us on there! 

- Don’t forget we also offer a monthly paperback subscription service if you’re thinking ahead to Christmas gifts or looking for something to keep you busy during lockdown. We can post UK wife and they are gift wrapped. Find more info on our website or email us.

Thank you all for your continued support during this difficult time, we are fortunate to have such great customers.

REOPENING...❗️

We are delighted to announce that we are going to be re-opening the shop on Tuesday 23rd June. (please read on)

We will be open Tuesday – Thursday 0900 – 1330 for collecting at the shop or for calling it to request a book, and at all time for orders via website, e-mail, social media or phone.

Card Payments ONLY.💳

Our space is quite limited which does pose some challenges for social distancing, but we are confident that we can implement all the guidelines to ensure safe shopping for customers and staff.

We have decided to take small steps towards fully reopening...

🔵STEP 1:

From 23rd June until 2nd July we will be operating a click and collect scheme. This means no physical browsing in the shop but what we can offer is:

- Contact us by phone, e mail or via social media to order a book, pay by card over the phone. Your book can then be collected from the shop, delivered free in the local area or posted out to you at a small charge.
- Choose a book on the website and pay - call in to collect or we can deliver locally (free)
- Call in to the shop if you have a specific title in mind, we can handover a book to you and you can make payment there (by card only). It would be helpful if you get in touch first or check our Near St to see if its in stock.
- Cards, Book Vouchers and Maps will also be available to purchase.
- A 10% discount off all books ordered and paid for between 23rd June and 30th June (including email, phone, website and social media).

🔵STEP 2:

From 7th July our intention is to open the shop for browsing with strict hygiene and social distancing rules in place.

🔵STEP 3:

We will gradually increase opening hours extending from 7th July onwards.

We would like to thank all of you who have continued to support us during lockdown, buying books and following us on social media, your support is very much appreciated.

On Monday 22nd we will select one customer at random who has ordered from us during lockdown (whether you've ordered through email, website, phone or social media) to receive a £10 voucher to spend in our shop! ✨

All purchases made during lockdown will be added to your loyalty account. If you haven’t got one just e mail us with your details and we will set one up.

We are really excited to be back in the shop and look forward to seeing you very soon. 😁
