Just a quick note to say we aren't going to be doing any kind of Black Friday sale - sadly, Amazon et al kind of forces this idea that businesses should slash prices but they can afford to do it because selling at a loss means nothing to them!

For small and local businesses it can be a tough time because we can't compete with big corporations but we're really the back bone of local economy!

What I'm saying is, if you can afford to - shop local instead!

Scndhndbks is the one and only second hand book shop for children’s and YA books.

I’m kind of sad to be selling this as it was a firm fave when it came out but I have no space and I can’t wait for whoever buys this to tell me they loooved it!

Second hand and ready for a new home:

A gripping tale of magic and logic, fate and choice, and a deadly love, in which the prince of a hi-tech city in the sky falls into a goddess’s ancient land, ruled by magicians and prophecy.

Prince North’s home is in the sky, in a gleaming city held aloft by intricate unknown technology. But North believes his sky island is sinking. Its engines are failing, and the key to saving his home is to venture to the place the engines were first created.

Nimh is the living goddess of her people on the surface, responsible for providing answers, direction - hope. But in the midst of the surface’s worst crisis yet, a mist that spreads madness and poison, doubts have arisen among the people about Nimh’s divinity. She must find a way to manifest her power - before she is overthrown and all is lost.

North’s and Nimh’s lives are entwined - though their hearts can never be. Linked by a terrifying prophecy and caught between duty and fate, they must choose to either save their people or succumb to the bond that is forbidden to them.

Happy Friday everyone!

As Christmas approaches (the lights in Wilmslow are going on THIS weekend - how is it already that time?!), remember to support your local businesses as best you can!

How? Well, personally I plan on propping up my fave coffee shop on Grove Street as much as I can... it's only right!

If you're not into coffee, why not peruse our website and see if any books jump out - early Christmas shopping is IN:

Second hand books are the perfect gift for book lovers - and supporting your local and indie stores NOW before the Christmas rush miiiight be something to consider! 😉

Anyway - here’s a reminder of who WE are!

Based in Wilmslow, Cheshire, scndhndbks is a second hand book shop stocking children’s and young adult books! We believe in keeping books in circulation (because they can’t be recycled), and putting books order books into readers hands because it can be expensive to only buy new books (I’m sure we all know!!)

Low priced, well loved, and happy to ship anywhere (but locals get free delivery 🚚) - give us a follow, check out the stock, and place your orders 📚
