About Us
We operate as a typical general independent bookseller; serving the needs of the immediate community of the town of workington and the surrounding smaller towns and villages that make up West Cumbria.
In addition to the general bestsellers we also specialise in those subject areas that reflect our situation; West Cumbrians and Workingtonians are proud of their identity. Local history is very strong and the local sports and teams enjoy passionate support - Football, Rugby League and Speedway in particular. Local interest extends to maps and guides of W Cumbria, the Lake District, and Scotland.

We are the largest independent bookseller in West Cumbria serving a huge geographical area between Barrow in the South and Carlisle in the North - a distance of some 100 miles. Apart from the local product and general bestsellers we have large specialised sections for; Bargain books, Childrens books, Computer books, sci-fi & fantasy, crime fiction, travel, and Mind/Body/Spirit books.
