2024 update: 
(WE ARE NOT BUYING BOOKS – PLEASE SEE LATEST NEWS FOR DETAILS)
CLITHEROE BOOKS continues to develop and now has added a larger number of NEW BOOKS to our stock so we have a good selection of new books: Classic fiction, World fiction, Recent fiction etc. There are now many thousands more books to choose from at CLITHEROE BOOKS and another floor now open with the basement also full of books to choose from.
Clitheroe Books is open 5 days a week Tuesday – Saturday 10.00- 16.30pm. If you are travelling from out of the area to the book shop you can contact Paul to check on whether the shop is definitely open that day or how busy it is etc on the contact numbers or email supplied here. The best contact is 07377062311. You can also contact us to enquire about or order new or second hand books.
Clitheroe books is also on Facebook and regular posts and updates re  stock are made on there. Please feel free to go on there before and after your visit to like or share us to spread the word about our wonderful book shop. We look forward to seeing you soon.
**** Please try to shop locally and support small independent businesses AND your town centre – shopping online* is damaging both. (* If you need to shop online for books then you can choose an ethical alternative to Amazon and order on bookshop.org. Bookshop.org has been set up to support small independent bookshops and CLITHEROE BOOKS is now a member so if you name us when ordering the profits come to CLITHEROE BOOKS and helps with the survival of a local independent bookshop.)
