点评:This independent bookshop is a genuine treasure trove. It’s been a book haven for 98 years, and you can feel that history the moment you step inside — but don’t be fooled, it’s also a thriving, modern hub at the heart of the Lee‑on‑the‑Solent community. If you’re visiting the high street, it’s an essential stop.
If you didn’t know already, your next obsession should be their brilliantly priced monthly book subscription and wellbeing community. A new book delivered every month… who wouldn’t love that?
They regularly host author interviews, book signings, and wellbeing meetups, making it far more than just a shop — it’s a place to belong.
All genres are covered: children’s, YA, classics, romantasy, and everything in between, plus a great second‑hand selection. You’ll also find stationery, cards, jewellery, and their own “Made in the Bookshop” merch. The tote bags are a personal favourite.
Support local, discover something wonderful, and leave with a book you’ll love.
翻译:这家独立书店堪称真正的宝藏之地。98年来,它一直是爱书人的天堂;刚踏入店内,便能感受到浓厚的历史气息。不过别被表象迷惑——它同时也是李昂索伦特社区中心一个充满活力且现代化的聚集地。倘若您正在游览此处的商业街,这里绝对是必去之地。
如果您还不知道的话,接下来您一定会迷上的就是他们推出的价格亲民的月度图书订阅服务以及相关的健康养生社群。每月都能收到一本新书……谁会不喜欢呢?
他们定期举办作者访谈、签名会以及身心健康相关的聚会,这里绝不仅仅是一家书店——更是一个让人有归属感的场所。
这里的书籍种类极其丰富:儿童读物、青少年文学、经典名著、浪漫奇幻小说等等,还有大量二手书可供挑选。此外,这里也出售文具、贺卡、珠宝,以及他们自家设计的“书店制造”周边商品。我个人特别喜欢他们出的托特包。
支持本地商家,发现更多美好吧。带着一本你会喜欢的书离开吧。
