Beyond expectations
This place is such a surprise! Tucked away at the end of Christchurch Hight Street, this book shop is surprisingly big with a really good range of subjects and books in store. Staff have got a really good knowledge too and are really helpful. Would not be embarassed by some of the bigger book store chains that you may know.

Above expectations
Bookends is one of the staples of Christchurch that has seemingly 'bookended' this end of the High Street forever! The staff have a great knowledge and clearly love the literature they sell, they have fascinating displays at certain times of the year, and often have in-store readings and celebrity visists when possible.
You can obviously pick up all the big books of the moment, and if you need to track down something a little more specialist then their advanced computer system can help (though be honest, it is just Amazon they're searching through isn't it??!) Apparantly it's not because a lot of it is cheaper than the aforementioned online store. So there.
