New From Nowhere is a little bookshop on Bold Street. It specialises in publications that are usually hard to find. It also stocks a good range of text books. They have an excellent range of books including books on veganism, paganism, Wicca, religion, poetry, novels, autobiographies, music and much more. They also have a small section of second hand books which are extremely cheap and this section is always worth a look. The staff are very friendly and helpful. If they don't have a book in stock they will try and source it for you and order it specially at no extra cost. They are also happy to point you in the right direction of the book you are trying to find. This shop is much nicer than the chain bookshops as the staff really make an effort for all their customers.

This is a particularly alternative bookshop, with sections specifically for gay and lesbian fiction, politics, feminism and books on well being and holistic remedies. It has a real specialist slant to it, in comparison to your average high street book store. It also has a section dedicated to particular student studied texts and the staff are more than willing to order in books for you if you need them at short notice. Also, check out the small section of second hand books at the back, they're really well priced and usually student throwbacks, I picked up a Critical copy of Robinson Crusoe for 50p rather than the £8.99 full priced version. Bargain! It's a really welcoming place with lots of leaflets and pamphlets on upcoming alternative events and activities and I feel much better putting my money into this place than Waterstones any day!

When you pick up a book in the media section entitled Deep Cinema - Film as Shamanic Institution then you know you're not in your usual bookshop. News from Nowhere is not simply an alternative bookshop but it is home to alternative ideas and forums as illustrated through the array alternative and specialist subjects like Civil Liberties and State Power - imagine if everyone was picking through these with their latte at the local Waterstones? NFN doesn't limit itself to just books, however, they clearly have a demographic to keep happy and do so with a selection of DVDs and a decent world music section including names like Salif Keita - you have to think tho with titles like The Last Chance: 8 songs on Isreal/Palestine do these people have a night off? But don't take it for granted or see it as a novelty, places like NFN don't do a roaring trade and need support - use it or lose it.

This small and friendly bookstore represents a personal, refreshing alternative to the Waterstone's behemoth that already has two stores in Liverpool city centre. There is little else to be said about News from Nowhere's charm that hasn't been said by fellow yelpers already but what I will add is its suitability for student use. Every term the store orders in books studied on English modules at the local universities at the cheapest possible prices (a vital aspect for students because let's face it, if you had to choose between spending ten to twenty quid on a book or on alcohol, it's a no contest) and staff will eagerly solve any queries and order in books if needed. An essential place for all literature students studying locally.
