Book Festival Bookshops

We run our own independent bookshops during the Festival - we have two in Charlotte Square Gardens and you can browse to your heart's content. Every penny of profit from our book sales goes straight back towards the maintenance and development of the Book Festival.

 The Bookshop offers the latest works from our attending festival authors plus a broad range of contemporary fiction, crime, biography, current issues and Scottish interest titles. 


The Guardian Zone at the back of the Bookshop is where you can catch up online with the latest Festival news, reviews, and podcasts. Create your own virtual bookshelf, share, rate and recommend your favourite authors and titles at guardian.co.uk/books.
 

The RBS Children's Bookshop showcases the quality and variety in children's publishing today. From classic picture books for budding readers through to contemporary teen fiction, our welcoming environment, complete with magical Activity Corner, will delight book-lovers young and old.
