A weakness for American literature esp Southern Gothic and Armistead Maupin. Best part of the job - our lovely customers, buying books for the shop and pretending they're for me, everything really. Bookseller at 18, librarian at 30, bookseller again at 55. Approaching 40 years in the book world. Best part of the job - recommending something I've loved and selling it!
Enjoys reading about the experiences of other people, from Diary of Samuel Pepys to Raynor Winn's The Salt Path. Best part of the job - trying to find the perfect book for gift-buying customers.

We love books a lot. We support the shop local movement and want our bookshop to make an important contribution to the Chorley high street and community. Chorley is a Totally Locally town. When you buy books from us you are supporting a small independent business which pays fair taxes. You're investing in your town.

I recently called up to order a voucher for my dads birthday. Due to having to self isolate I asked for the voucher to be posted out. Once I’d given the address the lady I spoke to realised she went passed my parents on the way home so she actually hand delivered it for me on the same day! Brilliant service & shop!

Contacted the book shop via Facebook messenger to order a book for my friend for Christmas. Three days later it was in store. I got a text message to let me know. Went and collected, had a browse round and bought another book. The service is amazing and the shop,is so welcoming and friendly. I would highly recommend this little gem of a shop.

I called in here looking for inspiration for a birthday present for my husband. Bought one book and enquired about another. After a quick search on the shops supplier sites. A book was ordered and delivered the next day in time for hubby’s birthday. I will definitely be going here again. No hard sell and nothing was too much trouble.

It's a treasure trove! full of the most beautiful books, manned by the most wonderful humans who furnish the browser with expert advice and knowledgeable tips. I have never left without something to look forward to reading and always with the most interesting of presents to give friends and family.
If you need a book quickly I have found they are easily as efficient as Amazon, next day in the shop, and with free parking opposite the shop, convenient to pick up.
An absolute must to visit in 2020!
