We have teamed up with Uppsala Stadsmission and Rotary to support the social project Matkassen.

Last call for special orders

Last Orders!! There’s still a chance to get your special orders in for Christmas for books not already in our 20.000 title stocked range!

Visit, call, email or send us a message and we’ll check with our UK wholesaler that they have stock and include it with our final Christmas order placed on Thursday morning. The deadline for you is Wednesday 15th at midnight.

And if Santa’s reindeer don’t get held up crossing the channel, your book will be here mid next week. Fingers crossed!

If you want to order anything from our regular hoard of books, we’ll be posting books to you for another week!

SANTA’S WORKSHOP | ’Tis the season

Give Santa (and yourself) a stress free Christmas season – get your wishlists and orders in now!

Santa would like to remind everyone it’s time to get one’s wishlists (and book orders) in – especially since the lack of lorry drivers in the UK and general pandemic disruptions might make deliveries a tad slower than usual.

Bring your wishlists to the bookshop (or send them in) so Santa’s helpers at the bookshop can get your books in for Christmas. (As long as you’ve been nice, and not naughty...)

Santa also would like to add that this wouldn’t have been an issue if freighters would have listened to him and stuck to reindeer deliveries! (And Rudolph agrees).
