Every month we go behind the shelves at a different independent bookshop - we meet the owners, customers and pets. Bookshop dogs and cats are the best! If you’d like us to feature your local bookshop get in touch using the form below.

Browse the bookshelves and you will see the latest fiction and non-fiction, but you will also discover a range of Cornish writers and Cornish settings.

Celebrating 5 Years of Indie Bookshops!

To celebrate five years of our Indie Bookshop of the Month feature, we’re taking you back to City Books in Hove, the very first shop we featured way back when in July 2018! Read on to see our interview with Paul and Inge:

From the niche to the super-niche, from super-swank to pile-em-high second-hand, we LOVE independent bookshops! We want to highlight the high-street heroes who dedicate their lives to readers and writers so every month we’re celebrating a different indie profiling the owners and their tastes (and bookshop cats & dogs)

Meet Paul and Inge from City Books in Hove!
