Bookshops in Bath

My beautiful hometown of Bath has an illustrious literary past. Fortunately for residents and visitors alike, it also has a range of bookshops to help us join in now!

Persephone Books

A quirky shop with a cool concept. I think more bookstores could take this approach to stand out.

8 Edgar Buildings, Bath BA1 2EE

Waterstones

Where I first got into buying books. They have a great selection and staff recommendations.

4-5 Milsom St, Bath BA1 1DA

Mr B's Wonder Emporium

A rabbit warren of a shop with a great children's section and friendly staff, Mr B's also stocks some local writers and makes browsing a delightful experience.

14-15, John St, Bath BA1 2JL

Skoobs

Loads of books piled up here with bargains to be had in a range of genres. You can take your old books there and get a bit of cash for them too.

40 - 42 Guildhall Market, Bath BA2 4AW

Topping and Co

My favourite bookshop has recently moved to palatial premises. Free hot drinks and generous opening hours make this the ideal place to come and linger for a bit.

York St, Bath BA1 1NG

Give me a shout if you make it to any of them!
