We can give you expert advice on books and can order almost any title in for you.  We offer a friendly, welcoming environment to browse and a wide range of hand-picked gifts, games and greetings cards. We also offer book subscriptions, a gift that keeps on giving all year round.  We run a monthly book club at a local bar, and we hold events for adults and children including book readings and author signings.

Whether you like walking in the Peak District, learning about local history, an exciting cookbook, a good bit of new or classic fiction, a fabulously illustrated children’s story or something else, we’ve got just the book for you!
