Blackwells Univrsity Bookshop

Are you a mad, crazy book fanatic? This larger bookshop holds millions of different genres of books and it has many different bargains and prices of their books too. The staff are pleasant and useful enough. They tend to act upon your queries quickly and promptly and they often sort them out with the help of their computer systems.
This bookshop was opened in 1879 on New Year’s Day by Benjamin Henry Blackwell who had previously become involved in the Temperance Society. His father had also been involved with such a society making bookselling a part of their family blood. This society created a chance of promoting self-​education and religion and reading (with it also encouraged people to take part in).
This family was a devout family towards the Temperance Society partly due to their religion and partly because Benjamin’s father was tee-​total, which was an action taken place because of the excise duty on alcohol that the government made money from.
This bookshop is not as big as the WaterStones bookshop in the Cardiff town centre, but it does have many books inside it for great prices. It is situated not far from The Sherman Theatre, on a road called Senghennydd Road. I recommend it for all…

When I was doing my university studies I used to purchase many of my books off the Blackwells website, never really realising that they actually had a shop like this. In truth I prefer to physically shop for the books in the store because it enables me to browse through the various books to see which ones are suitable or not. However, for books I know they have a good feature on their website called reserve and collect which allows you to check stock at the branch, reserve it and then go in to collect it in your own time. Saves you having a wasted journey.

The bookshop is conveniently situated if you really really need to buy a book right then but otherwise i wouldn’t really bother. They do sell core texts for the university courses but the prices are terrifying, the staff are way to busy and their secondhand books aren’t discounted enough. Even the cards and stationery are way too expensive. Try somewhere else.

Conveniently placed bookshop, behind the university union. It buys and sells used books, but the discount is never much. You would be much better off if you tried ebay or amazon.
Staff are helpful and will offer to order books in for you if not in stock.

Mann, oh Mann, hier habe ich schon sehr viel Geld gelassen, besonders als ich krankgeschrieben war. Da las ich viel und war hier fast täglich! Die Rubriken nach Genres sind sehr übersichtlich geordnet: Literatur, Geschichte, Sprachen, etc. Gemütliche Atmosphäre.
Falls ‘was nicht im Laden ist, dann wird es bestellt.
