Tru. Read, Listen, Advocate

We’re delighted to say we are now an official stockist for the journal Tru. A new Southampton based initiative.

Tru describes themselves as:

‘The informative hub for socio-ethical impact and acknowledgement, for those topics that matter.’

Claiming:

‘Our paper offers a broad and balanced perspective on current news and events whilst providing a hybrid experience of both a newspaper and a magazine.’

An annual journal available for £10 which helps them pay for their work or there is a small quarterly print available for free.

They even have a podcast!

Pop into October Books today to pick up a copy.


We are open:

Monday - Saturday

10am - 4pm

We are back open six days a week, with the whole store open for browsing. We will still of course be taking customer orders and you will still be able to buy food and cleaning products online through our online store. 

We are able to be open 6 days a week again because of your consideration and care whilst in the shop. Keep doing what you’re doing and leave that extra space, sanitise those hands and pull on that mask. We know you’re smiling underneath it :) 

You will see we have a QR code at the door, if you have the NHS COVID-19 app downloaded to your smart phone please scan this as you enter the shop.
