Happiness is...a visit to a bookshop :-) This is the most lovely bookshop...crammed with a deeply engaging array of books...a bibliophile's dream...cosy and welcoming with staff that are happy to talk about books all day long! We visit as often as we dare and we recommend it to all the guests who stay at The Lint Mill (our B&B) and they are never disappointed.

Love visiting your shop. Warm, friendly staff that not only know the stock well, but love the books! What a difference it makes to talk to someone about what you might like to read, to be shown a comfy seat and brought a selection to flick through. It turns buying a book into a lovely experience!

I was given a £50 book token after doing a talk abut shopping local at an independent book retailers conference in Glasgow this year. Keeping in the theme of shopping locally there was no way I was going to blow my book vouchers on a high street chain. I met Chris and Sue at the conference that day and have used up my vouchers now through this fantastic little book shop in Biggar. Its a 30 mile round journey for me but worth every mile for the personal service given. Thanks Chris and Sue and I look forward to picking up my next two books soon. Regards Jim

Whilst having a restful sojourn in Biggar, I watched a DVD that I purchased in the local charity shop. It was Oscar Wilde's Picture of Dorian Gray, I loved the film and have read some of Wilde's plays and poems, I had never read his only novel.
Where on earth will I get a copy in Biggar I thought to myself. I popped into Atkinson-Pryce Books and asked if they had a copy, it was out of stock but the delightful lady in the shop asked if I was in Biggar for a few days to which I answered yes.
Well cut to the chase a wonderful copy was selected with the most appropriate of book covers.
I was phoned the following day the book was at the shop waiting for me.
Exceptional service, passion for literature and such friendly people. I love your shop and will most surely be back.
Kind regards,
Kenneth
