Books We stock a wide range of general books for adults and children, as well as our speciality areas (such as social issues, adoption, humanities and political issues - see books for more information.)

Fast ordering of books not in stock At no extra cost to you, we can order any book in print in the UK, the US or Europe. We can get most books in less than a week (we get 75% within 3 days) although difficult-to-obtain ones can take a few weeks. You can either call into the shop to order, or order by phone. When your book arrives, we will contact you to let you know, and you can pick it up at the shop. Alternatively, we can post it to you, although we do have to add extra to cover our postage costs. Sorry, but we don't have any on-line ordering facilities on this website.

Price reductions We have price reductions throughout the shop, which change every month. Call into the shop to see our offers.

But we're more than just a bookshop... We also sell audio books, stamps, Fairtrade foods/drinks/goods, Organic foods/drinks, alternative magazines, greeting cards, humorous and political postcards, T-shirts with alternative messages, wall charts (nutrition, healing herbs, first aid, yoga, natural cleaning, dog training), diaries & calendars, stationery, and Green Goods - environmental cleaning/personal hygiene products. We produce national/international mail-order books catalogues for two of our specialist areas: Adoption Books and Vegan Books. We have Semester 1 and semester 2 Southampton University Avenue Campus Bookstalls. We also offer bookstall services for events.
