The Little Book Shop!
Despite current technology and gadgets, reading is still loved by people everywhere. Reading is both entertaining and educating, as it fires up imagination and offers new vocabulary.
There are many book shops out there, offering the latest authors and the newest releases, but often charging a lot for it.
However, Hampton has its very own treasure chest of books, ‘The little book shop’ is located in the building next to Hampton Train station, and has been a happy part of the community for decades.
Local Resident shares her own heartfelt story about the shop, describing the way that during her child hood, her grandmother would take her to the bakers every Saturday before taking her to the second hand book shop and allowing her to pick a book for the week!
The Little Book Shop sells second hand books of very high quality at very low prices; most of the children’s and teen’s books come to no more than fifty pence!
Books constantly line the shelves and the love for those books can be felt as soon as the thresh hold is crossed.
It is a valuable gem for the community, and has encouraged children to read for years! The books range from children and teens books to books for adults. Every genre is covered, from crime to romance, sad to comedy and horror to fantasy, you can rest assured that no matter what type of book you prefer at The Little Book Shop, you will be well looked after.
The Little Books Shop is also useful for anyone with piles of old read books just laying around the house collecting dust, as the books it sells are books it is given from the people of the local community!
The Little Book Shop really is a key part in Hampton, and so the next time you are driving through, stop by and have a little look for your perfect book!
