We have the largest range of radical newsletters, newspapers and magazines of any shop in Britain!
Our stock includes:
- Wide coverage of politics, political theory, peace studies, and world current affairs.

- General fiction and non-fiction.

Housmans is a not for profit organisation that seeks to promote and supply peace movement and other varieties of radical literature. We are always grateful for donations, either financial or in the form of your unwanted books so we can find them a home with a new generation of activists and raise a little money for the shop at the same time!
