Bookshop Day 2025 at The Clocks Bookshop

Come in and see us on Bookshop Day and see 6 truly awful, but real, actually published, book covers.

Vote for which one you think is the absolute worst and if your choice matches that of our Penguin Book Rep, we’ll put you in the draw to win all 6 books.

But don’t fret!

The books you win won’t be at all ugly. 

Instead, they’ll be beautiful Penguin Clothbound editions with a combined retail value of nearly $250.

The books up for grabs- winner takes all- are Penguin Clothbound editions of:

The Woman In White

Little Women

Pride and Prejudice

Crime and Punishment

Middlemarch

Frankenstein

Also, on Bookshop Day only, we have 2 important non-fiction titles that we’ll be selling for just $10.

 Over the last few months, because we think the messages within are so critically important, we’ve sold both The Anxious Generation (RRP $30) by Jonathan Haidt, and Stolen Focus (RRP $25) by Johann Hari at half price.

But for Bookshop Day only we are going a step further and selling each book for just $10! *

Neither are new-releases, but if you have any interest in the issues of social media, dwindling attention spans, child-anxiety, and the collapse of sustained reading, or want to gift a copy to spread the word, now’s your chance…

*While stocks last. A limit of one copy of each book per customer please.
