Bath and the bookshop.





Rooke Books is an extremely magical bookshop in Bath. We stumbled upon it on a freezing cold afternoon last week and I am so glad we did. It was spread out over 4 floors, complete with bubble and ball chairs to relax in. I have never seen such an amazing collection of books, so it's a real shame that it appears to be closing down.

  6. I have a soft spot for bookshops. My husband and I went for a walk the other week and there was a book sale - clearly i dragged the poor man inside! x

  9. What a wonderful place, I could spend days in there! Beautifully photographed by you. How heartbreaking to lose a place like that. I know it might sound controversial but if we've got money to save the banks, why not good bookshops too?
