This is a wonderful, chiefly Christian, bookshop. It is run by volunteers and sells a large array…read moreof religious books, although other books, particularly on the area, are also on show. The staff (volunteers) are really friendly and it is often a great place to go and browse. They have a well stocked children's section of books, particularly useful for introducing children in a more friendly and easy to understand way into the role of God. The cafe next to the bookshop is wonderful - run by volunteers and by far the cheapest place to get a decent cup of tea and a rather tasty home made goodie!

This shop is mainly used by students, and in fact the selection can be a little depressing,…read moreconsidering that it consists nearly entirely of text books But for students, there is the option to buy used books, and a very good reward card scheme. Also, the store can typically order any other book that students may want to read, fiction or non-fiction.

Luckily, the staff are all friendly, which is a necessary thing when every time you go in you have to ask for where they have moved the nearest item you want.

The…read morerange of very nice, very amusing, and usually utterly useless things that can be purchased from here is impressing. Yet nearly all of those things would make great gifts for friends! Whether it be special rubber duckies, artistic birthday cards, some cuddly toy or a set of fridge magnet, chances are that you will find something here. Except if your wish is very specific - unfortunately there is way too little space, and so the range is overall quite limited, unfortunately.

Uh, A-OK. Located inside the Student Union, this bookstore…read moreis mainly used by students. Like most bookstores on college campuses, everything is overpriced (I only go there when my books are taking forever to come in from facebook marketplace). They have a reward scheme and some really helpful staff members, who find all yours textbooks for you. So if you're like me, would like to save some money on textbooks, don't shop here. I like to hang out there and tell people that the charity shops are cheaper and then I get kicked out :(
