The Blue House Bookshop lives on Bootham in York, the street of merchants alongside the ancient site of St Mary's Abbey.
Our back wall is the former Abbey wall and the rest of our building was added in Tudor times.
The books are new.
You can also order online, just go to the shop section here, choose and we will send you payment details and can deliver free in York. If the book you want is not there, email us and we will track it down for you.
