About Our Store

We are  a small independant book shop located in a village called Bishops Cleeve, which is near Cheltenham Gloucestershire, in a region called "The Cotswolds." 

Our stock consists of all types of books, both new and second hand, with an extensive range of local books.  We are very keen to support local authors and often have book signing events in the shop. 

One of our major strengths is in our next day ordering facility, if a book is stocked by our supplier we can have it delivered the following.  We can also provide a local delivery service to customers.

Through our friends at Cheltenham Jazz we have built up an extensive range of CDs and books on Jazz.

Why should you shop at Courtyard Books?

We have been established for 7 years as a retail bookshop and nearly 5 years on-line through our own website, Amazon, Abe and Ebay.
