ImageA Bookshop for the Majority of Minorities

 

Welcome to Scarthin Books, a sort of One Stop Bookshop. People always ask what we "specialise" in,and the answer can only be in DIVERSITY. We are a major stockist of new books, with some forty thousand carefully-chosen titles on the shelf and an efficient and very resourceful international ordering service for individuals, schools and institutions. We buy and sell second hand and antiquarian books and music with a stock of about 45,000 on the shelf and with rapidly growing worldwide sales via a net stock of over 3000 rare volumes.The children's book room, with a thick carpet, is particulartly popular, as is our homely cafe with many curious exhibits on almost the only un-booked walls in the building. We host events and groups and occasionally publish books on Derbyshire, local history and in the popular Family Walks series. Opening hours are 9.30-6; 12-6 Sundays (last cafe orders 5.15) 01629-823272.
