Our shop
A proper independent bookshop, in the heart of Mevagissey.
Tucked into the winding lanes of one of Cornwall's oldest working fishing villages, Mevagissey Bookshop is a small independent bookshop on Fore Street with a big love of good books.
We stock new and second-hand books — fiction, non-fiction, Cornish interest and children's titles — alongside a growing crate of vinyl and a shelf of curated stationery. Whether you're after a holiday read, a record for the turntable or a gift that feels a little more thoughtful, come in, take your time, and let us help you find something you'll love.
“A good bookshop is part shop, part shelter from the rain, and part conversation.”
— The Mevagissey Bookshop
