The Amnesty bookshop - Cambridge

Set up in 1998, our Cambridge bookshop has become a well-established and much loved part of the Mill Road community. It is run by dedicated and passionate volunteers, is always brimming with a wide range of fiction and non-fiction thanks to brilliant local donations and is a space where everyone is welcome.

Our shelves are always changing thanks to the wonderful donations that we receive, and you can expect to find well-stocked sections, with strengths in art, philosophy, history and the social sciences. You can also browse a selection of rare and unusual books, as well as Greek and Latin texts, sheet music, maps and a decent foreign languages section.
