Our Shop
You can browse through these pages to see many of our wonderful stock items — updated daily to keep up with new arrivals! — but there are so many more discoveries to make when you visit us.
We are an owner-managed independent bookshop — this means we make our own selection of the books we stock. We aim to provide you with something a little different and a wider choice; books you may not find elsewhere.
alison’s bookshop is much bigger on the inside than it looks from the outside! A place of safe browsing, happy discoveries, comfy seating, interesting nooks and crannies.
