A book shop with an art supply store downstairs that sells all paper, pens and other art accessories. The book shop is a good size and stocks a good selection of university and fictional books, but it isn't cheap. A good atmosphere to browse in, but not to buy. some DVD's and CD's available

A really good student bookshop right beside Newcastle University. Blackwells stocks the majority of all the books you'll need for your course, all organised really well into subjects, and if you can't find what you need the sales assistants will always help and give you advice. However, it is much pricer to buy here than on amazon.co.uk - but it is so handy!!

Nothing wrong with the actual shop, its a nice setup with friendly staff and a wide range of textbooks. It's only problem is that you can get the same books online (like from amazon.co.uk) so much cheaper! Or so I found when it came to getting my books for university. There's also a few offers on for students at Blackwell's.

I wouldnt recommend buying books from Blackwells. They do have a range of university books, most of which are essential texts, but these can all be found for half the price online. I spent over £200 in here during freshers week, and my course friend bought the same books on amazon and it cost her half as much as what i paid.

This is a great bookshop to get your uni books. Its located right next to the university and you also get a discount card that gets stamped every time you spend £5 and eventually you get money off. If they run out of the book you need they will order them in and keep them for you and text you when it comes in. However before you buy from blackwells it might be worth checking amazon first to see if its cheaper.

Really handily located right by the university, this bookshop stocks almost all of the books you'll need for your course. It is a bit more expensive than other bookshops but you can get a reward card that offers money off after you've spent a certain amount.

Right next to the university of Newcastle, the store is very handy for picking up course books etc. They also display relevant course books on the university's reading lists separatley from others, usually on stands in the middle, rather than on the shelves. There is also the opportunity to purchase many second hand course books, which is great if you need to save money. However, I have found that they do charge more than in other bookshops, probably because the University plugs them to students so much. But, you may find that this is the only store for miles around which stocks some of the rarer books on your reading list!

this is a great bookstore that is located next to newcastle university. it offers packages to students on a variety of courses and also offers a loyalty card so if you buy a certain number of books then you will get money off your next purchase.

Blackwells is the main book supplier for students and it situated right next to the Newcastle student union. It is easy to find your way around with the clear signs and there is a large selection of books for each subject section. Prices are reasonbly expensive but then they would be anywhere you go for books.

This Blackwells is a students bookshop and has every book you could every possibly need for whichever course you are doing. The staff that work there are very knowledgable of their store and can help you find whichever book you are looking for though the store is easy to navigate your way around. Found round the corner from the Newcastle Student Union, the only negative to this Blackwells is that the books are pricey and it is sometimes worth just purchasing the books on a second hand online store such as Amazon.
