I recently went to Glasgow for a wee trip. My friends and I got tickets to see My Dad Wrote a Porno back in 2019 and after many reschedules, the day finally came to see the show! So I hopped down to Glasgow (by ‘hopped’ I mean, ‘took a 3.5 hour bus trip) and managed to give myself a whole day to go book shopping! I fully intended to buy many books and I did! I ended up bringing back 16 books and I’m so excited about every one!
I lived in Glasgow for 10 years but I left so many years ago that I wasn’t sure if any of my favourite book shops were still open. I asked friends for recommendations of where to buy books and the overwhelming majority suggested Category Is Books and Outwith Books, so I had to pay a visit to each of those places.
I went to the following bookshops in Glasgow:
South Side
Category Is Books
34 Allison St, Glasgow G42 8NN
Outwith Books
14 Albert Rd, Glasgow G42 8DN
West End
Oxfam Books
330 Byres Rd, Glasgow G12 8AP
City Centre
Waterstones
153-157 Sauchiehall St, Glasgow G2 3EW
WHSmith
Buchanan Bus Station
I think that it will be a while before I do anymore book shopping, other than bookclub books, as I’ve got no space left on my bookshelves and I’ve no idea where to put these new purchases. I regret nothing!
