Wells - there's no other bookshop quite like it

"With windows full of enticing titles Wells Bookshop in College Street is one of the most attractive in the city"
Hampshire Chronicle August 2002

An essential stopover for the discriminating visitor, Wells is a well-known literary landmark on the tourist route through the Cathedral close, past the famous Wykeham Arms pub and almost next to Jane Austen's House on the way to the water meadows where Keats wrote his 'Ode to Autumn'.

Behind the much-photographed shop front (state of the art 1890s) our stock is renowned for its interesting selection of worthwhile new biography, history, travel literature, poetry, militaria and, as befits a place of learning, a wide range of classics both ancient and modern.

But the greatest surprise lies above where the whole of the first floor is given over to the widest range of children's books in the region.
