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

Dear A-P (Biggar Little Bookshop) - I'm touched, encouraged, well chuffed that you have my 'Fair Helen' novel as your BoM! It's such a Borders book that doing events and having it visible in Biggar seems so right - Rachel Newton's singing of the source ballad 'Fair Helen of Kirkconnel' still makes me shiver.
Thanks so for your support and enthusiasm over the years - it means a lot. It's where books really happen, in those personal relationships.
Cheers - Andrew Greig
