Surrey There
county's shops are rather thinly spread, with no concentrations in any one town,
apart from two in Ewell.
Goldsworth Books &
Prints, with a stock of some 30,000 titles, claims to be the largest shop of it's
type in Surrey. Their stock ranges from paperbacks to antiquarian books, and they
always have an interesting selection of books on the arts. For Islamicists there's
Joppa, and for cricket fans, JW McKenzie Kent
Bookshop
browsers are spoilt for choice in Kent. Rochester is Home to Baggins Book Bazaar,
which claims to be "England's largest secondhand and rare bookshop",
although there are those who would dispute this. The The Aviation Bookshop's recent
relocation to Tunbridge Wells, swells the number of shops there to five, if you
count Oxfam. Elsewhere in the county you'll find shops to suit most tastes and
pockets. West

With the recent closure of their Worthing branch, Kim's
Bookshops are now reduced to two outlets. The
Horsham Bookshop and
Murray & Kennett have also gone, leaving Horsham without a secondhand bookshop.
The
Chichester Bookshop is always worth a visit, although it's a number of years since
I've had the opportunity. East
Sussex From the
cheap and cheerful purveyors of modern second hand books, many of them to be found
in Brighton, to the seriously pocket-lightening likes of Bow Windows Bookshop,
the county can truly be said to have something for everyone. If
you run a bookshop in South East England, just complete a simple online
form and you will start to attract new customers. Trade entries in the bookshop
directory are free (although we reserve the right to charge a small administration
fee in the future). |
