Welcome to The Word, a cosy, buzzing independent bookshop in New Cross, SE14.

We operate an order-&-collect service (sorry, we don’t offer postage).

Don’t worry if it’s showing as out of stock, we’ll order it in for you.

If you want a delivery service, and a wider selection of books, please visit our Bookshop.org profile HERE. To support us through Bookshop.org, please look for books in the search field on our profile page (you’ll stay on our profile throughout your visit) – this way we get more income from your transaction.

Please note – we don’t deal with the transactions or dispatch of any books – this is all handled by Bookshop.org.

And, if there’s anything you want that you can’t find, please call 020 8355 9378

We’re open

Monday>Friday: 10am>6pm

Saturday: 10am>5pm

Sunday: 12pm>5pm

VIEW ALL IN STOCK BOOKS

Our online shop doesn’t accept payments, so, if you see any books you’d like, please call us on 020 8355 9378 to order/reserve. Books can be collected from the shop as we don’t normally offer postage.

We strive to list correct prices, but they may be increased by publishers – we can give you current prices when ordering.

We’re also offering a (free!) local delivery service for those that need it – please call on 020 8355 9378 or email info@wordbookshop.co.uk.

Check out the fantastic books we have in stock at www.wordbookshop.co.uk/shop for our click-and-collect service.
