    Wonderful old-fashioned bookshop

    Small and quirky, with vertiginous stairs and clocks ticking away everywhere, this is the most delightful Bookshop. Some of the books are new, most are second hand. We found some real treasures and had a good hour of happy browsing.

    Amazing shop

    Great shop in the heart of Blandford. Lovely selection of books new and old, the shop itself is like walking back in time. Very helpful in here if they don't have it in stock they will try and order it for you.
