Great book store (Recommended)


Pros Store is well set out and has a large range of books to suit what everyone is looking for

Store is quite new and staff are very helpful

Many discounts and offers available all the time.

Cons Price compared to online makes the shop expensive

Parking can be diffucult some saturdays due to it being a match day, but most of the time it is fine

Also, the roads around the store is often jammed during rush hour o be careful with what time you travel.

Big book store (Recommended)


Pros A fairly big book store with lots on offer, and a great starbucks upstairs.

Prices are reasonable and they have some great offers available

Store is kept clean and tidy and the staff are great, being very very helpful and curtious.

Cons Parking can be annoying somedays, and traffic around the arena park can be busy.

Not the cheapest place to go and you can easily find the same books cheaper else where.

Can be quite busy and some books they dont have in stock, and this seems to be quite often

Great little bood store (Recommended)


Pros Its pretty cool, a little busy maybe. The TV section is a great idea, I got to see what some of my favourite writers look like and they are not as weird as I thought they might be! I don't know why no one else has done this. Its nice to get a small bit of community too, its not just a straight selling.

In a new shopping area where it is easy to park, and the place has a number of other good stores to visit like boots and tesco

Cons A bit busy maybe, and during match days you cant get out after the game finishes.

Prices are much higher than on amazon for example, but worth it for the convience

Nice Book Store (Recommended)


Pros Borders is a great shop, I would recommend to anyone trying to purchase books, film, magazines or music it is basically an all in one shop. BRILLIANT!

Also its a great place to have a coffee!

Really nice clean and tidy also.

Cons Can get busy and they do seem to be out of stock for a lot of books.

Also, the parking can be annoying around the arena park, especially on match days

Big store, great range and service (Recommended)


Pros This is a really great bookshop - the one I will always choose to go for when buying as it offers a very large range of titles and subjects, has little chairs dotted around to sit at and browse, has computer search stations to track down books and their locations, is spacious and light AND has a Starbucks upstairs!! The childrens department has little tables and chairs, there are often activites out to do and there are lots of soft toys to play with. They offer a storytime twice on a saturday which is quite sweet. Paperchase concession within the store which complements the gift aspect of book buying. Plus very comprehensive magazine range. Nice toilets, but you need to get the key from a Starbucks member of staff for the disabled/baby change loo.

Cons Parking is OK - busy retail park, but beware of match days (as Coventry City's new stadium is directly opposite). Prices are slightly higher than other high st booksellers - worth it for the great shop in my opinion.

Visit here every time i go to see a footy game (Recommended)


Pros I love this shop, and always visit there before i go see a football game.

The books they have on offer is amazing and its great to have a nice warm coffee before sitting out in the cold for hours

Cons the price of the books are expensive and the coffee upstairs is over-priced.

But for me, its cheaper than some other places but i wouldn't pay it normally.
