Bargain Books is a very handy small shop in the town centre on the high street. As the name…read moresuggests a Bargain is to be had in there with very reasonably priced books covering many different genres. Ideal when looking for a 'cheap' gift. They also stock other stationary gift items such as calendars and diaries. It is only a small shop and can at busy times become slightly difficult to get around. Unfortunately I have recently seen yet another closing down sign on the shop window which if this does happen would be a loss to the town in my opinion.

This small shop is on the high street in Stamford and sadly looks like it is about to close down…read morewhich would be a shame as you can pick up many a good book here at really cheap prices. Ok if you are after the latest bestseller this is not the shop for you but they do stock such a wide range of books that I believe you would be hard pressed to not be able to find something to read. They also stock a small range of stationary related gift items. The assistant has always been friendly and very helpful whenever I have visited the shop.

I was after a copy of Pevsner, (eclectic tastes, I'm afraid) and they had the full range in stock. Great stuff. Very knowledgeable and helpful staff. A long queue formed on my visit, but they got in 2 extra staff to tackle it after less than a minute. Recommended.

They don't take refunds on statute books (a book which has the law of something on it, in my case…read morethe Companys Act, 2006 and related laws). Something they didn't tell me when I first purchased the product. Something that wasn't reflected in the receipt. Something that wasn't on a sign on the counter. All they could offer was "sorry". What is the reason for this, I asked? Because statute books can be photocopied and returned. But that is the same for ALL books in theory. Actually it is even less likely for statute books, because YOU CAN PRINT IT FOR FREE ON THE INTERNET. I imagine they must have other nonsensical policies out there just waiting to bite you. Out of principle, I won't be buying anything from this place ever. Amazon here I come.
