Bookends Bangor

Bookends Bangor We look forward to welcoming you to Northern Ireland's premier secondhand bookshop. Find beautiful books instore now! We are increasingly selling online.

Bookends Bookshop was established in the ancient Irish coastal town of Bangor in 2003 and has become Northern Ireland’s premier secondhand bookshop with a stock of approximately 40,000 books. Customer service is crucial to Bookends’ philosophy; our shop is bright and airy, the stock is clean and well-ordered, and our staff experienced and knowledgeable. As befits Bangor’s only specialist bookshop, we have books covering all genres: from history to comics, from rare children’s and antiquarian books to the latest bestsellers. We specialise in Irish history, militaria and transport. We’re so well organised that we can generally lay our hand on the very book you want, but if we don’t have the item you desire in stock we’re ready and willing to source it, regardless of whether it’s an esoteric academic title or that story you remember from childhood and have longed to revisit since. Our main marketplaces are Amazon and Abebooks.co.uk, but if you see a book you like on our page, contact us through email, Facebook Messenger, or by phone. Credit card payments can also be taken over the phone.

Inspired by both the Bangor Library and , we will be having a Fill Yer Tote Event on Saturday 12th September, all day. For £6 you can either bring your own from home (just not an ikea one please, although that would be hilarious) or pay an extra £2 and one will be provided. Then just fill it with as many clearance books as you can manage!

I will be putting up some extra info later in the week to show what shelves are included, and where to find them.
