Book Query / Wants List
Book Query
Searching for a book? With over 80,000 titles in-store, with a limited selection available online, it may be hard to find a specific book. A Book Query is possibly the best bet. Please provide relevant information to the description field of the form below and a member of staff will get back to you as soon as possible.
Relevant information to help search includes an idea of what you believe the book is about and a physical description if you have seen a copy:
- Is it fiction or non-fiction?
- What is the general topic it covers?
- Is it tall, thick and covered in dark red cloth?
- Was it published in the last 10 years or 50 years?
The publisher can be helpful if you are looking for a specific edition, but we can't search by it, and we only record ISBN numbers on our new specialist stock.
Wants List
We keep a well organised database of titles that customers are searching for, in case the books come in at a later date.
This is not a perfect system as it is not automated — we do not have all our books catalogued. When a book comes into the shop that we think might be on the database, we look it up and then contact the customer in question.
- Please provide us with as much relevant information as possible, especially on what sort of topic the book is about — however we will do our best if you do not know.
- If there is more than one person after a particular title that has come in, we contact customers in preference of oldest requests first.
- If you no longer require the book when we contact you, there is no obligation on your part to buy it
