MacLean's Booksellers

S goods range of books on sale.Happy to try to order books they don't stock.Ramp available for those who have wheelchairs

I love Macleans book store.It has such an amazing range, it's well organised, the staff have always been friendly, and they will order in for you if you want something they don't currently have in stock.Their kids section is well stocked, and visually appealing.This is so important for capturing the interest and attention of young readers.Instilling an early love of reading is something I’m passionate about. So it’s been lovely to see staff engage with and encourage young readers, and never show any concern about little fingers exploring the books.Get them while they’re young, and you’ll have readers for life.I do have to say that they're a little pricey. You could easily spend less online. However, you’d miss the sensory feast that is the smell, texture, and atmosphere of surrounding yourself with real books. Personally, I'm willing to pay a little extra, and drive a little further to support my local independent book treasure trove.Given the location in bustling Beaumont Street Hamilton, parking is at a premium. You might have more luck parking in one of the many side streets. So it may not be the most easily accessible store to access, and from memory there is a step to navigate to enter the store, so keep in mind that it might not be wheelchair friendly.It’s well worth it to spend time in this little gem if you can.

The staff were so super helpful. The recommendations we so totally perfect. I am never buying a book from somewhere else again!

Thw best book shop. Great staff. Hard to get out of the shop. Always another book to look at.

Great selection open outside of 9 to 5. Pop in for a quick look on your way to dinner.

A lovely shop with excellent staff. They are always helpful both on the phone and in person and they sell such beautiful books. Thank goodness books are still alive!

One of my favourite bookshops in Newcastle. Staffed by a friendly team who will happily help you find the perfect books, love talking about books, with a warmly inviting shop front stocked with a broad selection of new releases, favourites and classics, plus an excellent section for younger readers. If they don't have it in store, they will find it for you. They make online browsing easy as well, and I love their click and collect service. They're also incredibly responsive to online queries and they're service is exceptional. I'll keep coming back!

Lovely little bookstore! They will happily order in any book you want which is amazing. The store also has a lovely vibe with very helpful employees.

Love the intimate atmosphere of this independent book shop. Great range and beautiful presentation of books, including for children. Highly recommend for a total immersion experience!
