Books for Schools

We supply lots of schools in Bournemouth, Poole and East Dorset and pride ourselves on providing a personal service and speedy delivery while offering highly competitive prices. Your first point of contact for school supplies is Paul Angel - contact details at the foot of this page!

We think there are lots of reasons why supporting a local business can be good for your school, but here are the six which we think matter most:

  1. Value for Money – we recognise that schools have limited budgets so we make buying simple for you – we match our school prices to the Ama*on price, and on the rare occasion where that isn’t possible we will tell you and give you our best offer. Sometimes we’re actually cheaper!

  2. Prompt turnaround – we will respond to your enquiry promptly with a clear and detailed quote, and books can often be supplied within the week

  3. Free delivery – we deliver your books ourselves, checked and carefully packed

  4. Supporting author visits – we have good links with publishers so can support author visits or events and can supply the author’s books in advance or on the day so that children can buy their own copy to take away (at a discount, of course!)

  5. Posters, bookmarks & bunting – we can source lots of extras to spruce up your library!

  6. Supporting the local economy – by purchasing your books through an independent family business you ensure that your spending supports local jobs in a vibrant local economy.

We keep the whole process as simple as possible – just tell us which books you need and we’ll get back to you with availability and prices – we’re happy to quote for single books or hundreds of titles!

“Westbourne Bookshop has become my supplier of choice due to the helpful and friendly service I get every time I submit a query. Nothing is too much trouble for Paul and his team, when dealing with large orders from busy schools. They will always go the extra mile to find elusive books and they'll do their best to offer competitive prices. As well as being both friendly and reliable, they are also prompt and deliver by hand within a few days. I would highly recommend them to schools, children, parents and book lovers everywhere.”
Anthony Evans, Headteacher, St Michael’s CE Primary
