Welcome to

Welcome to the online store of Chris Bartholomew, a small internet bookseller based in Penicuik, Midlothian.

Please feel free to search or browse our inventory of books, but be aware that less than half of my online stock is currently catalogued, so if you are looking for a particular book or author, it is worth searching for them through the Quick Search. If you can't find what you want, please fill out our off-line search form and we will search our off-line inventory and other bookstores, and where we do offer a no obligation Booksearch facility for rare, out-of-print books.

There are a few particular categories that I'd like to point you to. The BOGOF is a Buy One Get One Free, which does what it says on the tin and you will only be charged for the more expensive of the 2 books that you buy. Due to the cost of posting, this offer is only available to UK customers. I do have 4 kids, and as such, I do stock a very large number of Children's Books both Fiction and Non-fiction, a lot of which are not yet catalogued, but are searchable.

My handling, packaging and posting costs can be found here, except for Penicuik customers, who should look here.

I am a sole trader, who has worked with the help of my wife and kids (especially Andrew), and after 4 years of hard work, I consider myself a well established bookseller. I would appreciate any feedback on the site and if you spot any errors in the catalogue or elsewhere, please contact me here so that I can rectify them.
