Travel Guide

Travel BookTrail style to some of the most interesting bookshops in the world

We’re not talking about rooms that are just full of books.

We’re talking about bookshops in barns, disused factories, converted churches and underground car parks. Bookshops on boats, on buses, and in old run-down train stations. Fold-out bookshops, undercover bookshops, this-is-the-best-place-I’ve-ever-been-to-bookshops.

Bookshop in Scotland – The Oldest Bookshop in Wigtown

Bookshop in England – The Book Barge

Bookshop in the USA – Whitlock’s Book Barn

Bookshop in Australia – Gertude and Alice 

And that’s just the beginning.
