They will then offer to order it if you want them to. Also the prices are very good as I have compared books from other shops and Aussex book shop is far cheaper. As one book I got in Sussex book shop was £5 cheaper then W.H. Smiths. (read more)

The layout of British Bookshops and Sussex Stationer's is easy, and the shop is accessible to all people. Wide enough for wheelchairs and invalid carriages. The staff are very friendly and polite, and they are always willing to help at all times. A Highly recommended book store to visit. This store stocks all the latest titles and at really great prices. unbeatable! They also have a wide range of stationery, and a huge range of greetings cards. (read more)

There are few of these shops. There is a British Bookshops and Sussex Stationariesone in Romford, and one in Brighton, there's more but I don't know where they are. The shop is an all round cracker with disounted books, usually half price. (read more)

After visiting the Horsham Branch of BBS I was very impressed by the level of service I received.
