West End Lane Books

I have no idea how I came across West End Lane Books.....I have never even visited in person!!!But however I did I cannot recommend them enough! I have ordered plenty of books now. Some based on the recommendations of the wonderful people who work in the shop but some that have just taken my interest.I have not been disappointed. All books received in goodtime. Thank you!!!

Excellent local bookshop. Friendly staff and a good selection, including some signed books which is a highlight. I would be keen to see more travel writing in the shop going forward.

Really frustrating, there was a book I wanted to order that they didn’t have in, I wanted to support my local bookshop so asked if they could order it in (despite it being cheaper and quicker delivered etc online). I was told they could have it in two days time and was asked to give my phone number to send a notification of when it did etc.I then called the evening I was told I’d be able to pick it up, to find out that it hadn’t arrived and wouldn’t/couldn’t because the publisher is out of stock.I honestly wouldn’t have minded if someone had let me know even that morning… a bit of a killer to be told the book will arrive that afternoon and to only find out they can’t fulfil the sale after me contacting them that evening. All after taking payment too, for an order they couldn’t process.Staff were really nice and the shop was good to browse, but I wouldn’t rely on them again for an order…

A little gem of a bookshop! A great selection kept in store, with lovely gifts by the counter. The Bookshop Magic candle smells heavenly! The staff give great customer service, and were happy to order some books in for me that I'd been struggling to find. The books arrived within days and they rang to let me know. I'll definitely come back!

I've never visited in person, but their online service was/is exemplary. Pre-ordered a signed copy of Adrian Edmondson's book online, and I was given the option of adding a personal dedication. It arrived very quickly and very well packaged with a couple of days. My husband will be delighted with his stocking filler. Thank you!

I wanted to gift my husband a signed copy of Bobby Firmino‘s book for Christmas. The problem is that it’s next to impossible to get a signed copy in The States. Our bookstores don’t carry them, and the European bookstores that had signed copies weren’t willing to ship them to North America. West End Lane Books was SO helpful, willing to ship to The States, and communicated so well. My copy arrived in a timely manner and was in pristine condition when it got here. So glad I found this gem of a store online!

Great Independent run family bookstore. They stock a wide range of books. I found everything I was looking for.The cashier was very lovely and knew the backstory of authors of books I enquired about. Namely Toni Morrison and Andrea Levy.They have a 20% off sale every last Saturday of each month.Well worth a visit!

Two people behind the counter, no greeting on my way up to the till.The young girl seemed nice enough, but neither of them responded to my bye bye" when I left after my purchase.The other woman (possibly the owner) clearly felt to be too "important"
