People's Bookshop

The People's Bookshop began in an attic on Durham's Saddler Street, ran there for thirteen years, and has since moved to Prince Bishops Place while turning itself into a member-owned co-operative — a community benefit society registered with the regulator, run by volunteers. It is the North East's radical and second-hand bookshop, stocking politics, history and the sort of titles the chains do not, owned in effect by the people who use it. A bookshop as a cause as much as a shop. Browse, and buy a share while you are at it.
