East Grinstead Bookshop is the quintessential English book shop, full to the rafters of wonderful books, both new and secondhand, staffed by people who have chosen a business we are all passionate about. Sitting in the heart of Englands` longest street of timber framed buildings, Tudor House boasts many interesting features. Come and see its black and white beams, unique cork oak cladding, fascinating carved faces, is one really the head of Anne Boleyn and do we really have a ghost ? Come and soak up the history, enjoy a cup of tea or coffee in our little cafe, explore the nooks and crannies, browse our shelves, and who knows you might even buy a book or two, and help keep alive a real bookshop!
Just some of our wonderful carvings, but the mystery is who are they?
Can you spot Anne Boleyn, and tell the difference between her and John Pye, the owner of the shop?
Tip : He`s only lost the top of his head and is marginally less wooden !
But alas our ghost is more often heard rather than seen, but you never know.
In the age of dotcoms there has to be more to bookselling than souless mail order warehouses.
If you believe in books, browsing, passionate booksellers, being able to touch, see, smell fabulous books, then help us to keep this great bookshop alive for yourself, for us, and for future booklovers.
BUY and ORDER, all your books from The Bookshop, East Grinstead either in person, by phone, by email, or even by letter and keep the magic of wonderful independent bookshops alive and well.
We can order any of the 1.4 million British books in print, and most can be collected from the shop the very next day. We are happy to source those hard to find, foreign or out of print titles too. No stone will be left unturned in pursuit of that book. And if you can`t come in person to the shop to collect your books, we are more than happy to post them to you anywhere in the world, thanks to the wonder of The Royal Mail .
Truly inspiring story about changing the direction of your life.
Most delightful book I have read in years if not ever.
Will change the way you think and live.
There are not many books that have actually made me cry from laughing, but this is one of them.
From airline stewardess to Queen of Jordan. An amazing story, hear a voice seldom heard in our society.
