About us
The Book and Card has been run by the Johnston Family since 1985. Now into its third generation, we continue to stock Arran's news, gift, book and stationery essentials and offer a friendly service to visitors and locals alike. We are proud to be an independent bookseller.
The Book and Card is a must-visit stop for tourists and day trippers meandering along Brodick's shore front, offering a wide selection of books, toys, postcards and Arran products year-round.
Since October 2019 we have been home to Brodick's Post Office. Please see the Post Office website for more details about what services we offer.
We also sell tickets for local events.
What we do
The Book & Card offers a curated range of books designed to appeal to a variety of tastes. In addition to books by local authors and Scottish fiction, non-fiction and children's books, why not check out our Classics, our selection of Science Fiction for something different?
We source our fabulous greetings cards from several Scottish and UK suppliers to fit (nearly) all occasions and tastes.
Our stationery range is extensive for a wee shop and includes all the pens, paper, adhesives, files and folders you or your business may need. We are constantly adding new art supplies to suit the budding artist, dabbler or seasoned professional.
We are always expanding our selection of games and toys, from board game classics to educational children's games. If it's for a gift, why not check out our fabulous gift wrap & bags?
We are also home to Brodick's Post Office and stock a good range of postal accessories.
