Books for Amnesty Edinburgh

We are so pleased to be open again following the recent lockdown. It’s been wonderful to see our customers stopping by to top up their bookshelves. If you are planning a visit, our opening hours for next week will be:

We are happy to accept smaller donations of books at any time during opening hours. However, please note: if you wish to donate more books than one person can carry in a single trip (i.e. more than one box or two bags), we accept donations of this size by appointment only. Please give us a call on 0131 221 1596 to book a time. If you turn up hoping to donate books and find the shop is closed, please don’t leave the books outside.

Thank you for your continued support, we look forward to seeing you!
