Sussex Stationers (Shop)

Sussex Stationers, to me, always seems a bit like a cross between a regular bookshop and a bargain bookshop. It is neither one nor the other. Unlike bargain bookshops, which often sell some strange and obscure titles, or books that have failed to sell successfully, this chain of bookshops, found in the South of England, sell all the best sellers, and much more. There are 40 branches, found not just in Sussex, but also in Kent and Surrey, and one has now opened in Oxford Street, London.

Sussex Stationers has to be one of the best cheap book shops around. Selling a selection of art and office materials as well as a broad variety of books has made Sussex Stationers a haven for broke students like myself, a place where books can be found for a lot less that other high street bookshops and online bookshops.

My most frequent purchase from this shop are novels by a popular fantasy author, these all sell at £4.99 each, yet cost about £5.99 or £6.99 in other bookshops. I have now ... more

Sussex Stationers has a large number of stores around the South East, offering large discounts on a wide variety of books. It is almost definitely the cheapest bookshop on the high street (other than discounted shops). If you want a book that is widely available, but at a very competitive price, than find your nearest Sussex Stationers. However, here is the rub. If you are after academic books, then you will be pushed to find what you are looking for and you are best looking at Amazon. This particular problem is not unique to Sussex Stationers. Most high street bookshop chains have a very poor ... more
