About Burway Books
Burway Books
was established in September 1974 by Rosalind Ephraim with help from her Mum and Dad. Rosalind still owns and runs the shop, now aided and abetted by her son, Alun, along with local girls
After 37 years at No 10 Beaumont Road, the shop moved to spacious new premises in March 2011, just a few doors along from its original home. We are now happily settled in to our “new” premises and enjoy greeting customers – old and new.
is a credited “Walkers Are Welcome” town, and we stock a comprehensive selection of ORDNANCE SURVEY maps, both local and covering the whole of the UK. We also carry a large stock of international Michelin maps, atlases and travel guides. The National Trust’s beautiful Carding Mill Valley is only a ten minute walk from Burway Books – you can buy a book, a local walking guide or a local map then spend a pleasant day rambling around the Stretton Hills. We will happily advise on walks, eateries, shops etc: we are proud to be part of this lovely town and do all we can to support it.
As well as a great selection of books we also have cards, bookmarks, book seats, mugs, soft toys, diaries, notebooks, and other book-related gifts. We are happy to order CDs and DVDs for you. We run monthly Book Clubs, hold regular author events, offer student discounts and run a customer loyalty scheme. We also supply local and international schools and colleges.
We are now able to sell ebooks too,
If you are unable to visit Burway Books personally your books can be sent to you wherever you live, both nationally or worldwide.
Burway Books Book Groups
We are open six days a week and have a superlative reputation for our speedy and efficient ordering service and extensive book search facilities.
…which includes details of our Book Groups and our current bestsellers.
Burway Books is also a Sanctuary of sorts; there is a wonderful aura in the building we now occupy, although we do have a friendly imp who occasionally rearranges our books!
We will be always here to help you chose the perfect book as a gift for others or yourself; to offer recommendations and suggestions. But we will always leave you free to choose whatever you please; we don’t judge, we don’t discriminate and all are welcome.
*Though we do also sell – and can order for you – music!
All of our staff will happily give advice whenever possible, and do their best to obtain a particular book for you, whether current or out of print. We are happy to source second hand books.
