ALT A blue and cream graphic reading: As many of you know, we are independent booksellers Topping & Company and today we bring you some big news! In autumn 2025, we will be opening a large new bookshop over multiple floors in central York opposite York Minster. At just under 6000 square feet, it will become the largest independent bookshop in the country. At the heart of what we do is a belief in the importance of each of our bookshops being independently led by its booksellers, united by a common belief in stocking an unparalleled range of books and the importance of each bookseller having the power to run and make buying decisions for their own sections. Our new home is a historic building on the corner of Museum Street & Blake Street. The building dates back to 1860, beginning as the offices of the York Poor Law Board of Guardians, and commands “spectacular views of the west front of York Minster” from its first floor...
ALT A blue and cream graphic reading: We hope our new bookshop will be a fantastic addition to York’s literary scene. You can expect our signature handcrafted bookcases, rolling library ladders - and space for over 75,000 titles on the shelves. We aim to offer an exceptional space for readers, with complimentary pots of fresh tea and coffee, reading groups, and plenty of friendly, bookish advice. We also run an extensive, year-round book festival programme. Our soon-to-be bookshop in York will host an array of author events - from novelists, journalists, and historians, to celebrities, and chefs. The opening programme will be announced next year. Follow the progress of building a bookshop and be the first to hear about events by subscribing to the newsletter on our website & following @toppingsyork on social media. We ask you not to submit job applications now - but follow us on the above newsletter & social media and we will let you know once applications open.
