Get more from the Book Department

Learn more about the services we offer through our book department from loyalty, ordering, book club and self publishing. 

As proudly 'old-fashioned' booksellers, we know books, and we love books.  If we were invited to appear on Mastermind, take a guess as to our specialist subject!  Because of our passion for books, we have a number of services that we can offer to help you get the most out of your literary adventures...

The Jarrold Book Club

If you love books and reading, why not join our Book Club?

We aim to meet once a month and have a friendly and informal chat about our chosen book. Wine and soft drinks available to purchase on the night. 

All meetings are held in Chapters on the lower ground floor at 6pm.

If you would like to come please call 01603 660661 and ask for the Book Department, or ask staff for details. Tell your friends... all are welcome!
