Children's Books
We have an excellent selection of children's books, ranging
from children's and young adult's fiction, activity books, picture-paperbacks,
educational books and revision guides, board books (for young
children), learning-to-read schemes and fabric 'Soft' books
for babies.
AudioBooks
AudioBooks are a useful alternative if you barely get time
enough to read. Instead you can listen to them on any Hifi,
car stereo or Walkman/Discman. As well as for the time-starved,
they are especially helpful to those with sight-difficulties.
Hundreds of popular titles are available on AudioBook, on standard tape cassette (or spread across many!) or on CD.
As well as many readings of popular books, most BBC Radio
adaptations of books are available on cassette or CD.
Please ask us to see if any title you want is available as an AudioBook.
Out Of Print Books
Out of print books include books that have literally sold
out, in that there are no copies left at either our suppliers
or the publisher, as well as books that are very old or specialist.
We have had books imported from the USA, Australia, and much
of Europe for customers who really wanted a particular book.
Please ring (01484 866413), email read@orchardbookshop.co.uk or call into the shop if you need a book that you have been
unable to find.
Book Tokens
We sell National Book Tokens, which can be used in the majority
of bookshops in the country, and are redeemable against new
books and audiobooks.
National Book Tokens can be spent here on new books, audiobooks
and maps. Unfortunately they can not be redeemed against second
hand books or any other product.
Maps & Atlases
(For details of custom mapping solutions please see the Mapping and Data Centre).
We have a wide selection of OS Landranger (1:50,000) and Explorer
(1:25,000) folded sheet maps covering most of the country, and can order any others within 2 days. We can also order laminated

coloured sea, although all country boundaries are up to
date. The central globe in the picture above.

mountain ranges and deserts etc. Country borders are marked).
