Most of our stock lives on the shelves in Chapel Street, and much of it is also listed online through AbeBooks. Collectables – cigarette cards, posters, coins – go up for auction on eBay, and we're always happy to order new books in.

1918
More than a century of books in Petersfield
Dr Harry Roberts and the artist Flora Twort founded the shop in 1918. In 1958 Frank and Ann Westwood brought it to 16a Chapel Street – once stables and a bread store – where it has been ever since.
Visit Petersfield calls us “a browser’s paradise”.
