THE Malvern Book Co-operative opened nearly three years ago.
When the long-established Beacon Books was due to close a group of friends from West Malvern decided that Malvern still needed an independent bookshop.
They formed a co-operative backed by more than 100 generous shareholders who felt the same way.
We now feel that we are an established part of Great Malvern and are thoroughly enjoying being part of a thriving retail community.
Visitors to our shop enjoy the opportunity to browse our wide selection of titles which include some more unusual books alongside the latest releases.
We pride ourselves on our speedy and efficient ordering service.
So, if you can’t find what you are looking for on our shelves we can usually supply it for you within 24 hours.
We are happy to accept orders over the phone or by email.
Book tokens can be supplied and redeemed.
We also sell a wide range of book-related gifts – mugs, coasters, bookmarks, calendars and carry a wide selection of cards.
To complement your browsing why not take advantage of our shop-front café serving delicious cakes and drinks.
We all LOVE books and are delighted when people linger in the shop discussing and recommending their favourite titles with us.
We are always happy to give help and advice on choosing titles if necessary.
Come and visit us over the next few weeks for some stress-free Christmas shopping.
