Medium general stock, with emphasis on
early C20th crime fiction and thrillers. Friendly owner. - Richard.
As I said to the owner, the shop could do
with a womans touch, as the bookshop was a mess with books all over
the place. Very difficult to find books because of the state of
the shop although I did find two. Very friendly and helpful owner.

Effectively the offspring of Night
Owls in Portsmouth. Currently a smaller shop/stock than its parent,
but with the same pricing regime: hardbacks and good paperbacks
£1.00, everything else 50p. As one might expect at those prices,
a fair amount of dross: but there are some decent books mixed in.

to be found along with modern paperbacks, classics, childrens and
a expanding range of history and sciences. At the moment the sign
above the door still reads "Lucky Wight Rabbit", from its past life.
Pleased to see that the stock has expanded
greatly since it was taken over last year. Now with a great selection
of non fiction to go with the masses of p/b fiction. Looks cleaner,
and much more organized. Came away with a little bundle and very
happy! - Fei 17.04.09.

A couple of walls of books, with strong
emphasis on maritime. - Richard.
I visited about 4 years ago. Owner was half-hour
late opening after lunch, was distinctly unwelcoming, AWYW [Drif's
code for Asks what you want] and to top it all nothing was priced.
I left emptyhanded wondering how he hoped to sell anything. - Martin
Stallion 10.10.08.
I feel I must respond to the negative entry
- I guess everybody has ' off days' but on the many occasions we
have visited the bookshop we have always been met with unfailing
courtesy - they have now moved to delightful premises within the
old Clarence Dockyard and is now primarily an art gallery with a
small though important selection of books with a maritime flavour
- excellent parking - marvellous location and coffee and pastries
etc can be had within a few footsteps - just the place to go on
a sunny day! - Gavin Richardson. 18.11.08.

Have now visited three times this year and
on each occasion have left with a small box full of books. Pricing
all over the place and had to decline one wanted title due to high

The Petersfield Bookshop specialises in buying and selling antiquarian
and second-hand books, but also sells antique maps and prints, new
books, Ordnance Survey maps, artists’ materials and has an on-site
picture framing workshop.
Initially everyone would find this shop
fascinating, but it doesn't bear repeated visits. Prices are somewhat
optimistic, stock doesn't shift very quickly and there is a dearth
of new things going onto the shelves. - Nicholas Pendower 03.01.09.
I agree with this review - in addition they have
taken out selling space to incorporate a book binding room and crammed
the books into two other rooms where browsing because of restricted
space is difficult . I sometimes feel that owners forget that it
costs money to visit their shops and should do everything to ensure
that items can be viewed comfortably. Gavin Richardson. 27.01.09.

I maintain a stock of about 25,000 books in Victorian premises with
over 1000 sq. ft. of selling space. Most of the stock is acquired
from large private collections.
Now also contains a small cafe. - Richard.
Good prices throughout this airy shop, which
is fairly well stocked with all subjects. The big table in the middle
invites one to tarry a while perusing a potential purchase over
a coffee. If you're friendly to the staff, they'll let you in the
back room where they keep the internet stock. Only semi-categorized,
it needs a serious hour out there there to work out what's what.
They didn't charge me for the coffee, but nor did they offer me
a discount on 7 books totalling £18.

Over 30,000 new and secondhand books on all subjects, displayed

I think this comment from their website
sums the stock up rather well. "Visitors will find specialist
books rather than bestsellers. The range of subjects includes Island
history, travel, transport, the military, literature and titles
on many other themes, plus a range of postcards." - Steve Newman

General books, archaeology, local and British topography.

Things seem to be going well at this shop
- nice new sign over the entrance and one of the partners saying
trade was good. The first floor seems to have been renovated and
th whole shop gives a good impression. - John Bacon 07.05.09.
