Our online ordering system is about to retire and is acting up - but don't fret: ordering from us is still easy – just let us know what you’re looking for and we’ll help you out in our very personal way.

Just let us know what you are looking for (author and title, any specific edition) and we’ll sort it. Or if you’re just looking for tips – let us know.

Please include your contact details so we have them ready if you decide to order (we’ll confirm prices and availability with you first): your full name, full postal address (if you’re not picking up at a local shop), and email and mobile number so we can reach you.

UPPSALA | Wednesday 13 September at 19:00. Free, but ticketed.

Do we need bookshops in the twenty-first century? If so, what makes a good one? In the age of one-click shopping, why are bookshops – and how do they become – essential places of discovery, refuge, and fulfillment that enrich the communities that are lucky enough to have them.

Sign up & join this panel discussion, for trade folk as well as bookshop lovers and customers.

Special guest is Jeff Deutsch, this year's Adam Helms Lecturer at Uppsala University (lecture on Tuesday 12 Sept).

Sign up & join the panel discussion on the role of the physical bookshop in contemporary society with Jeff Deutsch, Mats Ahlström (former president of the Swedish Booksellers Association), and Jan Smedh (co-founder of The English Bookshop). The discussion is in English.
