After a most enjoyable and rewarding(found a couple of excellent, affordable second-hand Scottish books)first visit to your shop a couple of months ago, I decided to have a wee look at your site....
and was delighted to see that you've won the Independent Retailer award! Very well deserved. Congratulatons!

Looking forward to my next visit to Biggar.

Congratulations on winning the Best Bookshop/Stationer award at the Scottish Independent Retail Awards last night.
Wish I had won instead, though! ;-)

All the best,

Hi all,

Been meaning to post this for ages. Jacqueline and I visited this bookshop for a book launch - Karen Campbell was the author. Wonderful evening, entertaining, and a glass of wine. Invited by the girls to call the next day and browse, we did and had coffee. Since then I have used the shop for ordering books. The girls seem to be able to get books to me in a matter of days whereas Ottakers and Waterstones take more than week. I would highly recommend the service.

This bookshop fills you with nostalgia. But there's more to it than that. Nostalgia alone doesn't make for success. What makes this one work in an age of Amazon-ease is a combination of things:
-very friendly helpful service
-a focal point for local events
- the welcoming atmosphere with armchair and fire
- old books for sale as well as new.
- regular events
- intriguing, original shop window design, that changes often.
Thank you!

Just wanted to congratulate Sue and Chris on producing and running such a lovely, oldy worldy bookshop. Sue and Chris are always very welcoming and helpful. When my daughter won 1st prize for a Junior Journalist Challenge competition recently,they put her winning entry in the local newspaper in their shop window and made quite a fuss of her. It is always a pleasure to visit this charming little book shop.
