Brilliant bookshops worth visiting
TOPPING AND COMPANY
Topping and Company in Bath which opened in 2007 at a shop moved into a large Georgian building last year. This means it can house more than 75,000 books and host many author events. It is fitted out with handcrafted(手工制作的) bookcases and rolling library ladders. It’s easy to spend hours here, settled on a comfortable seat and enjoying a pot of tea or coffee while looking through inspiring book titles.
BOOKSHOP BY THE BLACKDOWNS
Bookshop by the Blackdowns opened last December in Wellington and is a family⁃run affair. Very much a community bookshop and space for people to share a love of reading, they sell new publications, classics and old favourites. As well as pre⁃schoolers’ picture books and children’s books, the shop also has a good line in young adult fiction. Ever⁃changing Reading Lists highlight their hand⁃picked books. They also host author events, with visits by Emma Carroll and Hazel Prior in recent months.
BAILEY HILL BOOKSHOP
Located in Castle Cary, Bailey Hill Bookshop has been running for more than 50 years, with its current owners taking over in 2003, and its success lies in providing expert knowledge, selling books from national and international, but also independent publishers, and having an impressively fast delivery service for any books that need to be ordered. It has special events too, including a talk at the town’s Market House on October 21 by Rebecca Lowe.
ROTHWELL DUNWORTH
If you enjoy searching through old books and uncovering hard⁃to⁃get or long⁃forgotten treasures, then pay a visit to Rothwell Dunworth in Dulverton. Founded in 1975, it specializes in antiquarians(收集古物者) and second⁃hand books. It has sections covering all areas of interest including art, history, travel and literature. Regularly visiting all parts of the UK and searching overseas for books, it has some rare finds including first editions.
