October Books

October Books, founded in 1977 and now based on Portswood Road in Southampton, is a not-for-profit co-operative radical neighbourhood bookshop. Any money we make, is ploughed back into the business. We trade independently from any political organisation, and seek to promote a fair and equal society. Our workers and volunteers are from many different backgrounds, and they bring diversity to the shop, so everyone feels at home in October Books.

You can order with us online or browse our stock. Or alternatively give us a ring, or drop in!

As well as books, we also stock greeting cards, organic and fair-trade foods and green household items.
