The place was really offering great prices for many books and had lots of art things for a reasonable price. Unfortunately it was closed at Western Road in November 2010, so now it’s necessary to check with works web where the closest shop is…

What a great little place! For someone like me who has a penchant bordering on an obsession for both obscure and cheap books, this place is fantastic. I’ve found some great things in here: ‘The Cocktail Bible’, ‘The Green Composter’ (because I’m super green-​fingered) and various recipe books for £1.99 each, hardback sketchbooks for £2.99, multicoloured gel pens for 99p, board games for under £5 and it’s an amazing place for completely random Christmas presents too.
They also have some distinctly odd things here though — my favourite being something along the lines of ‘The Top 100 Serial Killers’. Very morbid and rather disturbing, don’t you think? Especially as it had been dropped by someone next to a Disney Princess sticker-​book…

What you’ll find at The Works is just a tremendous collection mish-​mash that you could do without. I found myself flipping through the stock and often saying to myself: «What’s this?» You’ll find novels with titles such as «Where Did We Go Wrong?» or «When I Think of You» written by authors you have never heard of. That being said, they do carry a few familiar titles by Stephen King or Dan Brown.
What’s great about this store is the variety you’ll encounter. You’ll find children’s books, fiction titles, non-​fiction books, stationery, and various other art supplies. It’s worth it to stop by and have a look, as the prices here are rather cheap.

The works bookshop looks like it ought to be home to hordes of bargain seekers and small children buying stickers of ponies, and it is. However it is also a a good source of interesting and sometimes surprising books. A recent visit revealed, alongside ‘Cooking for your Horoscope’, several beautiful copies of Machiavelli’s ‘The Art of War’ bound beautifully in brilliant yellow with embossed type. While ‘Cooking for your Dog’ (another in the ‘Cooking for…’ range) may not be in your field of interest you probably have an aunt that would like it, so its a great place to pick up gifts for the eccentrics in your life and sometimes a little gem for your own bookshelf too.

Ross M.‘s idea, that this store is just a dumping ground for the rejected stock of other bookshops kinda hits the nail on the head i think! Though, perhaps not, as apparently there’s a Works Outlet store down at the Brighton Marina!
Despite the junkiness of some, well most of its stock, I am quite fond of the Works. It brings back fond childhood memories of my Dad ushering me and my sisters in to the Bristol store with (in heavy Bristolian) ‘come on girls we need stationary! the works is the place to go!’. Though even then the stock seemed pretty naff! I did find cheap kids books though. As an adult, I really wouldn’t bother going there for the books, or the gifts. But for cheap stationary — cheaper than W. H. Smiths — it’s worth a visit.

The Works is a bit higgledy-​piggledy when you actually analyse what they have on sale:
Books
Music
Games
Art Supplies
Toys
Stationary
Decorations
But what is great about it is this sense of sheer unreliability. There is always a gamble that you’re going to find something great, or leave empty handed, but this is part of the charm. I just wouldn’t be too reliant as stock seems to turn over pretty quickly, but their prices are smashing and sometimes you can get an unexpected bargain.
So, if you’re looking for any of the above items, get down to The Works!

The Works is a budget bookstore, which retails numerous texts at a low price. Unfortunately, even though many of the items here are very cheap, I couldn’t spot anything inside that I might actually like to buy, and the main thought that kept popping into my head, as I perused item after item, is that everything in the store looked like rejected stock that other bookshops had been unable to shift. I don’t want to be too cruel, as I do think that some people may find something inside they might like, and it isn’t like the books themselves are highly priced, but this certainly isn’t the best book retailer in Brighton, and I wouldn’t recommend going here if you are a serious reader.

Discount bookstore selling discounted books, stationery and art and craft materials. Set over two floors, art and craft section and stationery are upstairs, with books downstairs.
The selection of books can be a bit hit-​and-​miss, but there’s a good children’s section and it is always worth a browse as the stock changes reasonably frequently. At Christmas they have a selection of calendars.
Over the years I’ve got some good bargains here, including DVDs and books. Friendly staff.
