Timberbooks

Timberbooks is an independent high-street bookshop in West Kilbride, North Ayrshire, Scotland.  Established in 2007, we now operate from a Victorian church and church hall called Overton, which we bought from the Church of Scotland in 2013.  

 

We sell quality new, second-hand and antiquarian books and book-related items.  We strive to support local authors and publishers.  

 

If you can't find the book you're looking for here, please check our other website www.timberbooks.co.uk or e-mail us at [email protected] and we'll happily undertake a complimentary book search for you.  

 

Thank you so much for choosing to support your independent high-street bookshops!  

 

COVID-19 update:  Although we are fully operational online, due to current Tier-4 restrictions our high-street shop is open only for a click-and-collect service until at least 18 January 2021.  We hope to welcome you back as soon as possible!

 

Update 7 December:  A HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who has chosen us as 'your' bookshop for purchases here.  We've just received our first commission payment and you've paid for a whole month's PPE supplies for us.  Thank you so much!  Michèle (Owner, Timberbooks)
