We’re blessed for many reasons in this corner of the country and we bookworms are certainly well catered for. Whether you’re looking close to home or willing to pilgrimage slightly further afield for your literary fix, here are five bookshops that are perfect for booklovers in Kent, East Sussex and West Sussex.
Halls and Adrian Harrington Books, Tunbridge Wells
Halls is about as charming as a bookshop can get, with rustic wooden shelves that tower high enough to need a ladder, and there’s frankly nothing more romantic than climbing a ladder to reach top-shelf tomes! This is a second-hand shop with plenty of beautiful books, covering every conceivable topic. Upstairs is Adrian Harrington Books, a rare book specialist with plenty of treasures to discover. Unusually, this shop specialises in the work of Ian Fleming, so Bond fans should definitely seek this one out.
