A warm welcome
We're a third-generation family business on Brodick's beautiful shore front. Since 1985, we've been selling books, cards, stationery, toys, games and more.
A friendly welcome is guaranteed.
Our story
The Book and Card was founded in 1985 as Brodick's first dedicated book, card and stationery shop. We are still family-run, selling books, greetings cards, gift wrapping and stationery, art supplies, jigsaws, toys and games. We strive to bring new and relevant products to surprise visitors and regulars alike.
Since 2025, we've collaborated with a local business to host a new café. Check out Two and Coo.
