Welcome to The Wivenhoe Bookshop

The small shop with the widest-ranging stock, the friendliest staff and the comfiest sofa! Between the woods and the water in the shadow of the bell tower of St Mary- the-Virgin you’ll find a rather picturesque 17th century clapboard building, which for the last 35 years, has been home to the Wivenhoe Bookshop. Yet we're all old-fashioned charm. If we don’t have your book in stock, we can access over 250,000 titles by overnight order. We also offer a quick and efficient out of print booksearch service. Our experienced and friendly staff are happy to help and advise (or just leave you alone for a good old browse). But it’s not all just about books - we have a full programme of events for writers, readers, knitters, and yes, philosophers. Check out www.wivenhoebooks.com for the latest on luanches, lunches, the world's smallest gallery, and news from Wivenbooks, our publishing imprint.
