Reading Matters is a friendly, traditional independent bookshop in the High Peak area of the beautiful Peak District. Established in 2012, our ethos is simple; we are passionate about books. On our shelves you will find a broad, interesting range of fiction and non fiction for children and adults. Ordnance Survey maps, local guides for walkers and cyclists, walking/hiking sticks, as well as a range of quality greetings cards, RM Book Tokens and National Book Tokens, toys and games and 'bookish' gifts complete the list of things we sell. Since the local tourist information centre closed in the town, we have become the hub for information for visitors to the area.

We celebrated our 8th birthday in December 2020, thanks to our growing band of loyal customers. In spite of the current global pandemic we are optimistic about the future of our bookshop. We pride ourselves on our customer service and nothing is too much trouble when it comes to books!
