Country Life names us One Of The Best

Richard Booth’s Bookshop named as one of the “Seven best independent bookshops”

Country Life magazine, November 2023

It is always a privilege- and a pinch-me moment- when Richard Booth’s Bookshop is included in articles, both online and in-print. We believe that the bookshop has come on quite a journey; originally a merchant then a predominantly second-hand bookseller, before finally settling into its current status as a new and used bookseller, alongside craft supplies and gifts. From the very beginning, customers would travel across the globe specifically to visit the bookshop, eager to find those rare and much-loved books. Today, we still have visitors from near and far, many of which have specifically planned their trip around a visit to the bookshop.

Richard Booth’s Bookshop has been developed with readers in mind; from conveniently located chairs and knowledgeable department heads to careful research into which books are currently of interest. The point here, is that the customer has always been at the heart of the bookshop’s purpose, and we are so pleased that the feedback we receive reflects this.

Take a look at this article from the Country Life Magazine, which shares seven of the best independent bookshops in the UK. We are honoured to be included within the seven recommended within this article, and alongside so many other great bookshops too.
