The Cowbridge Bookshop

Hello and happy Friday!
Please note that there is a fake website doing the rounds that is nothing to do with us... we don't have an online presence for obvious reasons, so if you see a website claiming to be The Cowbridge Bookshop, don't engage! 📚

When the sky’s full of rain, and puddles abound,
I still find my way to the bookshop in town.
Umbrella in one hand, a list in my mind,
Lots to select from - what treasures I'll find.
A book is a shelter, its world so divine,
Who needs the sun when the plotlines shine?

This weather won't stop us! We're open every day up to lunchtime on Christmas Eve, so pop in to choose your next read 📚

It's our 40th birthday!!🥳
40 years of providing the best books - as presents, for work, for school, for research, for enjoyment, to transport people to another world, another era or another place.
Since Ross' parents, John and Kyrie, started in 1984, we have served thousands of lovely people who all wanted to disappear into the pages of a book. Thank you for being part of our story.📚

Set up and ready for John Devereux's book signing. I think the space is going to feel very small very soon!
