The Urmston Bookshop loves nothing more than bringing authors to schools. We have developed some brilliant relationships with authors and their publishers so we can even find an author that suits the occasion, the school, the children and a specific theme if required. Most of all, an author visit to your school can provide very real evidence that "Reading for Pleasure" is part of the school's programme!
Urmston Bookshop has a wide selection of quality greeting cards, many gift ideas, a variety of stationery items and gift wrap to suit all occasions. Plus Orchard toys, Djeco, Crocodile Creek, Gibsons, Klutz, Rainbow, Big Jigs, Janod and Paul Lamond range of toys. We are always receiving new ranges of cards and gifts.
The struggles of three women - a child, a school-teacher and an elderly woman about to be widowed - intertwine in this award-winning crime thriller which takes place over 13 days and whose ending, according to the cover testimonial delivers "one of the most reverberating shocks in modern crime fiction".
Life after life is a beautifully wrought, unique novel that blends the concept of continuous reincarnation into an outstanding work of historical fiction. The reader experiences the tumultuous period of two world wars through Ursula, a heroine buffeted through multiple lives, the course of which vary wildly with each incarnation.

5 Star service.
I had a family member from America buy my new born some books from here and the lady enthusiastically hand delivered them to my house.
Would definitely recommend.

I love this bookshop - it’s like a candy store for book lovers. They were super helpful with helping me find fun books for my son who hates reading but really enjoyed the Green Eggs and Ham book.
You can order books online through Hive and the you can pick them up at the bookshop. Much better than using Amazon.

A lovely little independent bookshop. Very small, obviously not with a huge selection of books, but lots of nice gift ideas and excellent service. If you want something they don't stock they can order it for you. Also a small cafe at the rear of the shop, plus they have occasional film shows and celebrity signings. A little gem of a place.
