British Bookshops and Stationers- quite a grand name really for a discount bookstore. As discount…read morebookstores go this one is quite good, they have a large stock of new releases for about £5 less than retail price and several rows of older books- cookery, gardening, design, art, novels, reference books.

Four Corners is hands down the best print agency in Brighton…read more A small company nestled between Seven Dials and Preston Park, it's run by a team of dedicated professionals who know everything there is to know about ink and paper. They've produced stunning brochures, flyers and posters for everyone from The Big Chill to Drakes Hotel and their speciality is Responsible Print. As well as liasing directly with local and national printers they trust, they offer a range of recycled papers, vegetable oil based ink and the capacity to view and offset any CO2 emissions caused by your print job. Running a graphic design company - check out www.bonnieandclydedesign.com to see our stuff! - I'm always on the look out for reliable and cost effective printers and was blown away by the quality at Four Corners. So far, they've printed a brochure, a fold out guide, a press pack and cardboard pom pom makers for us and every single item was top notch.

Having been running events in Brighton for *years* I really owe these guys the biggest thumbs up I…read morecan give. They have always been incredibly supportive, going far beyond reasonable lengths to ensure each job is done to perfection. From the diligence of their design guys in checking over our graphics, to allowing us to take some severe liberties with urgent print runs 4 Print have always come up trumps. I still remember them getting in a print run in 48 hours - I must assume they spent all night with hair driers getting the flyers dry... Competitively priced, excellent customer service and very friendly staff. Look no further for your printing needs.
