The shelves are FULL and you are welcome to browse! Would you like a little video clip of the shop, showing the range of books we have? If more than four people say yes, in total, across the nine pages we advertise on, I will give it a go. Results not guaranteed! 😊

We have a great range of children's picture books in the bookshop at the moment, all at £1 each. And we were given a stock of postcards of Shepton Mallet when the Tourist Information Office closed. They make a nice reminder of our beautiful town. All in the card rack. All for local good causes.
