Church House Bookshop Search tips

Can't find what you're looking for? Too many results for your search?

Our search engine allows you to search by any mixture of Title, Author, ISBN and topic.
Enter one or more keywords into the SEARCH box at the head of the page, and then click GO.

Tip 1: Avoid very common words.
Example
Product sought: Christening Bible
Try: "Christening"

Tip 2: Search by ISBN if you know it.
Type in the full number, eg: 071512000X or 9780715120002.

PLEASE NOTE: 10-digit ISBNs are in the process of being superceded by 13-digit ISBNs. At present some of our titles are listed under the old-style 10-digit numbers whilst others are listed under the new 13-digit numbers. If the ISBN you are searching for is not coming up you may wish to try the alternative version. Please click here for a website that will allow you to easily convert 10-digit ISBNs to 13-digits numbers, and vice-versa.

Tip 3: If you are seeking something by general theme rather than a specific item, you may find it is better to use the CATALOGUE.

Example A:
Product sought: Bible, perhaps large-print, as a gift for an elderly relative.
Click on the CATALOGUE tab (next to the SEARCH tab near the top of the page). This will produce a drop-down box. Select Bibles. This will open up the Bibles category. You can now choose by version (e.g. King James (Authorized) Version) or by type (e.g. Gift Bibles).

Example B:
Product sought: User-friendly commentary on Luke’s Gospel
Click on the CATALOGUE tab (as above). Select Commentaries. This will open the Commentaries category. Now select a series, e.g. NIV Application (from the subcategory list). You will find a list of the titles we have in stock, as well as a description of the series.
