Based at the west end of Biggar’s flourishing High Street of lovely independent shops, Atkinson-Pryce is an Aladdin’s cave of books - a place to feel inspired, a real bookshop with real books and booksellers who love them.   “Atkinson-Pryce is a haven of sanity in a difficult world.” 

We are happy to say that we are not just surviving but positively thriving - thanks to all our wonderful customers who have continued to support us through the years.  We have survived many changes and challenges, most recently this global pandemic which has brought the world to its knees.

We hope that readers can take comfort in books, in their favourites, in discovering something new, something to escape into and something that just might change their life.

We aim to have something for everyone; a fantastic kids section with everything from tiny tots to emerging adults; there’s science, history, art, contemporary issues;  there’s the best in fiction, Scottish writing, nature, travel and cookery to name a few.  We have a very efficient ordering system and can source pretty much anything - we especially enjoy a challenge (you know the one, that book you heard on the radio a week ago but can’t remember the title or author!), don’t hesitate to ask.

We pride ourselves on being a dedicated bookshop but we do have some additional treats; stunning cards, wrapping paper, notebooks and bookmarks, as well as other literary gifts.
