The Booklist

The Booklist is BookBar's way of telling you all about the books we love. With hand-picked recommendations tailored around interesting themes, current topics and the latest trends, you're guaranteed to find something for you. Each book listed here is personally recommended by BookBar's team of bookish experts with you in mind.

 

Please bear in mind that this is not our full stock listing; if you'd like to order something you can't see here, we may have it in stock at our bookshop and wine bar or we can order most books to arrive the next day. To order get in touch with us and we'd love to help.

When you buy from bookshop.org we receive profit on any book you buy, so long as you enter through our shop front, via the link above (BookBar will show up in the top left corner). This profit is less than the profit we receive when you order from us directly, but you will still be supporting what we do by ordering via bookshop.org above any online retailer. As the books you order will not be sent directly from us, they will not be wrapped in BookBar branding.
