Leisure / BOOKS

Most, but not all, of the following booksellers have 'physical' as well as 'virtual' bookstores.  Please check details on individual sites.

In addition to anything else you may find in this section, do remember to visit our own Online Bookstore  (in association with Amazon.co.uk).

For MAGAZINES about books, please visit our online Magazine Store

If you like reading classics but don't want the trouble or expense of buying them, why not visit 'Project Gutenberg' where the full text of out-of-copyright classics is available online, and can be downloaded as required!   Thousands of titles are available - from Shakespeare, Edgar Allen Poe to Lewis Caroll.  (Look at the search facility first.)
