What a wonderful local bookshop! I have been calling on this shop, selling books, for over ten years. Their range of new titles and backlist books is superb, the staff are friendly and knowledgeable and it is always a joy to visit them. And they love dogs…

Having worked with The Cobham Bookshop as a school librarian for over twenty years, I can attest to the wide range of interesting nonfiction and fiction books for both children and adults. The staff are second to none with reading recommendations and can usually order books in within a couple days from their wholesale supplier. The new events are well thought out, relevant to current publishing and are a great addition to the community spirit in Cobham! A well-loved part of Cobham High Street
Anne Moore, Librarian
Stepping in to The Cobham Bookshop is a delight. My first stop is always ‘staff picks’. Here you will find lots of inspiration. Then I usually find myself browsing through the greetings cards and looking for birthday gifts. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Be warned, rarely do you leave with just one book! A gem of a shop, and it’s independent too - what’s not to like!

I love to browse and chat with the friendly staff in Cobham Bookshop about books they have recently enjoyed and recommendations for all ages. It is my go-to shop in Cobham for gifts (for others and myself) and I always receive excellent customer service. Cobham Bookshop is in the heart of Cobham and I value their presence on our High Street enormously.

I love your bookshop. I love it so much that I want to go in every day. I’m a bookworm.

Cobham Books has given us excellent friendly service for many years. The staff are welcoming, enthusiastic, always keen to discuss and help with reading requirements. Bryony, the manager, is particularly knowledgeable and can always recommend books to give as gifts to family and friends. There is a wide ranging stock of books on the shelves and even when a book needs to be ordered it arrives within a day. Cobham Books has been a lifeline for us when sheltering for health reasons. We cannot recommend this wonderful asset to our village too highly.
