RICHARD BOOTH’S BOOKSHOP

Richard Booth’s idea that a town of books could become an international attraction, transformed the small market community of Hay-On-Wye into the world’s first booktown.

This landmark bookshop on Lion Street extends over three floors, is packed with volumes from near and far and managed by specialist department heads.
