#bookstoreoftheweek

Our #BookstoreoftheWeek is London's worst kept secret and two-time winner of The Bookseller's Best Independent Bookshop, Dulwich Books!

They've been keeping Dulwich, London and us well-read for over 31 years with books galore and stellar recommendations from their wonderful team of booksellers, whose insight and welcome alone make Dulwich Books well worth a visit. Dulwich Books is home to the resident 'Godfather of Bookselling' Philip Maltman who has been ahead of the game with Man Booker Prize winners The Luminaries and A Tale for the Time Being and Goldsmith's Prize winner A Girl is a Half-Formed Thing. Wondering what you should read next? Get a second opinion on the Dulwich Books' bookseller's review blog!

Dulwich Books do more than recommend excellent books they also hold lots of events, from book launches, story-telling and authors in conversation to rolling your sleeves up in a creative workshop as part of the Dulwich Literary Festival! In the next month alone, Dulwich Books will play host to John Lancaster, David Mitchell, Chris O'Dowd, Laura Bates, Diana Henry, we could go on but you can find out more here!

This brilliant little bookshop offers even more than great books, staff and events! For those further afield Dulwich Books also have an online store. And for those lucky enough to be nearby, you can join Dulwich Books Book Group which focuses on books by debut novelists and is open to more members and suggestions.

Suggestions are the bread and butter of booklovers like us so we love Dulwich Dispatches, a excellent service offered by the Dulwich Books team. You select a format, tell them what kind of books and subjects interest you and they send you a carefully selected book straight to your door every month!

It doesn't get much better than that.

"My instinct was simply that every high street needs a bookshop as much as it needs a chemist, greengrocer..." - Jane Howe,owner of this week's #BookstoreOfTheWeek, Broadway Bookshop!

There are many wonderful things to be found on Broadway Market.

Beer, wine, whiskey, chocolate from that stall down the end, you know the one we mean.

And yet, it is not the lively atmosphere, canal views and antique stalls that keep us coming back. It's our #BookstoreOfTheWeek Broadway Bookshop! 

It takes a lot to stand out on Broadway Market but, our Broadway Bookshop is a shining gem in both it's choice of store-front colour and the selection of literary fiction, beautiful art books, quirky biographies and everything else from politics to poetry available. 

Broadway Bookshop is packed with books. It's like the library you imagined yourself having behind a secret door in the castle you lived in when you grew up to be a princess...

... Just us? Ok. 

Broadway Bookshop is more cleverly laid out than your dream library, it undoubtedly has a better selection and also hosts events, exhibitions and a lovely team of booksellers!

Both a literary and cultural goldmine, Broadway Bookshop is more than a bookshop, it is a permanent exhibition space and is currently exhibiting Travellers' Children in London Fields an exhibition of photographs by Colin O'Brien. An absolute must see.

London's love of the Broadway Bookshop is mutual, the shop's travel section is full of local history and guides. They also have a seemingly endless collection of second-hand collectables including the ever-popular Penguin classics. Broadway Bookshop is perfect for a browse and ideal if you've managed to get through your 'to-read' list as the staff put together an excellent list of their monthly recommendations. The three floors of the bookshop are cosy and welcoming and although the books appear to be randomly stacked they're actually cleverly arranged based on the staff's trustworthy opinion of what's worth reading.  

Broadway's wonderful Broadway Bookshop is an ideal escape from the madness of the market, it's perfect for a browse or a recommendation, it's happiness for your soul, it's our #BookstoreOfTheWeek!
