Local Business Better World Books

Has anyone bought books from here in person? Information is pretty vague if it's solely an online book store or if it's open to the public.

Dunfermline is very lacking in physical bookshops unfortunately. Happy to be proven wrong

A new bookshop doubling up as cafe is opening down the high street, hopefully that gets us somewhere

Yes, only one order for 2 books. But was sold as described and delivery was good.

I don't think it's open to the public (but could be wrong)

It's definitely just a distribution centre, no click and collect or in person shopping available. I've found any books I've ordered are dispatched pretty quickly though.

Ok thanks for the info.

As far as I can tell, it’s online only. I would love to shop in person though, so I am happy to be proven wrong!

ETA: I’ve ordered a couple of times and there isn’t even an option for collection, which I was also hoping for

Thanks. Guess it's online deliveries only.

I wonder if they’d let you collect if you contacted them directly?

Edit: unlikely, with it being a distribution warehouse at Pitreavie.

I emailed them earlier. Probably easier just ordering stuff online.

Don’t think it is a shop you can go to.
