Friendly staff! We went in so my mother-in-law could pick out lots of books. We spent a while…read moredigging through the special deals and left with 24 romance novels to keep the MIL happy for some time to come. The staff were very helpful and didn't get upset when I accidentally knocked over several containers of pens on the counter... oops! They were also very helpful with the fact that my Mother in law was in a wheelchair and the space in the store was more than adequate We will be back!

Not the biggest branch of The Works in the world, but it does offer something at the Yorkshire…read moreOutlet/Lakeside that would be missing otherwise, as there aren't any other toy/book shops or places of any interest to the kids (apart from soft play & chocolate!). Easy to spend half an hour in there and come out with a pile of stuff you really didn't need and probably won't ever read, but had to buy because it had a huge discount on the RRP. Lots of budget art supplies - great for gifts. Close to Thorntons & Cadbury's shops, always a bonus!

Angel Hill is a great little unknown comic book store in Doncaster, above a nail art shop on…read morePrinting Office Street. The staff always take the time to chat to you about the latest releases, and what you are currently reading. In this shop, I was recommended a comic that introduced me to what now is one of my favourite comic book characters - the Scarlet Spider. There's a little desk and a seat to read on, and a quite a range of action figures too. The only problem is that it's a little small, but I guess that adds to the charm!

Best bookshop in Doncaster? Well it is the only one anyways!…read more I was quite suprised at the variety of books there as i was worried the place would be a box due to the shop being in 'little Donny'. There is also a small Costa Coffee upstairs which is quite nice.

Every time I go to Doncaster with my son, we visit Waterstones. It's like a family afternoon out in…read moreitself. They have a lovely children's section (which is where I spend most of my time these days). There are some fish on display and a little table where the kids can look at the books. Sometimes, they have little activities on Saturdays, such as storytelling, etc. Costa coffee is right next to the children's section which is perfect as we can then go and have a cup of tea. My whole family loves it!

I really love to browse around in WH Smith, but rarely buy anything as it's all so ridiculously…read moreoverpriced. I'm a bit of a stationery freak, so the range that they have in here does excite me in ways that folders probably shouldn't. I've only ever been to the stationery section, unsurprisingly, but I've found it to be quite well stocked with a good selection of stuff in lots of funky patterns. You do pay for the priveledge though, of having a pink polka-dot pen to match your pink polka-dot folders, notepads and everything else under the sun. Often they do 75% off sales which brings the prices down to pretty much what the stuff is actually worth, so look out for these. Staff are pretty faceless, adequate, polite, not too much going on with them. I don't buy often so haven't paid too much attention, but haven't noticed anything particularly good or bad with regards to the service.

Within the Frenchgate shopping centre this is a good sized WH Smiths spread over three floors. The…read morelower floor has DVDs/CDs and Games on offer, the ground floor offers magazines, some books and stationary and the upper floor has a greater selection of books and arts/crafts materials. Often has good offers on and is usually well staffed.
