The lovely thing about Sheringham (which we visit for a week each year) is that very little changes as the years go by - and I wouldn't have it any other way. Peter's Bookshop is a perfect example of this!We're back in August and my mind is already wandering to dressed crab and spending far too much time perusing the shelves of this treasure trove. Quirky for sure and tightly packed with books in every nook and cranny; but there are some real gems therein. I'm counting down the weeks - don't go changing!!

Wonderful. An utter joy to roam here, full of a huge range of books you never knew you really wanted!

Great bookshop with a very wide selection. Could have spent a lot longer but pressed for time. Will definitely be back next time I'm in the area.

Each time we come to Sheringham (usually once a year for a week) we visit this Aladdin?s cave seeking out its treasures. Such a joyous place to explore, we usually go back home with 10 or 15 books. Long may Mr Cox?s wondrous book palace provide us with its delights.

A great disappointment. This was a shop I used to make special trips to, and always came away with a good haul: no more. (a) the opening hours are just weird; (b) he won't take payment by any means other than cash; (c) there is so much surplus stock that it is stacked in piles along the gangways, waist-high, and in places two deep, so the lower shelves are totally obscured, and the upper ones almost inaccessible without climbing on the piles. In at least one case, a whole bay was virtually silted up like this. After about 10 minutes I gave up and left.

I first visited this amazing bookshop when i was a little girl in the 80's while on holiday. Almost every year we would visit when i was a kid and it was always a highlight of the holiday and the whole family would come out with armfuls of treasured finds.Now as an adult i have visited several times in the past 20 years with my own family and its such a nostalgic joy to see some of the same books on the shelves from when i was a kid, or so it seems.I can easily lose several hours in this maze of books. My tastes in books have changed over the years, its no longer Enid Blytons and Twinkle annuals, but this shop instilled in me a lifelong love of books, especially old ones from the 19th century and 20th century classics and i try to make a yearly pilgrimage to my favourite bookshop...i've visited many, including "booktown" (Hay-on-the-Wye) but as of yet, in my 40's now, i've yet to find another to replace its top spot in my heart!I always find what i'm after mostly and the staff always know where they are if i can't find them. I love that they leave you to browse in peace but if you want a chat or ask questions they are always so friendly and helpful.The only time i was ever disappointed was when we made the trip there and it was closed!

Great little bookshop but be prepared, piles of books everywhere. Not much room to move but what a rummage. Just how bookshops used to be.
