Shambles Bookshop

Bbookshelves stocked with a variety of colourful new books

About us 

Shambles Bookshop stocks new books for all ages, spanning fiction, non-fiction, poems and plays across all genres. The vast majority of the books they stock are from independent publishers, and they also have a dedicated Bristol section featuring local authors and poets, along with helpful guides to the city, and fiction that takes place in Bristol.

They organise our shelves according to the Shambles system, by mood or vibe. Sections evolve over time, and you may find books move mysteriously from section to section on a whim. 

They also have a selection of book-themed greeting cards, audiobook cards, handmade book accessories, and sell and redeem National Book Tokens.

You can also purchase Shambles gift cards.
