The Old Hall Bookshop was opened in 1974 and was originally a 19th century Chapel, on Shutta road, in the historic Fishing town of Looe, in South East Cornwall.

How to find us: We are a bit hidden away, but no worries, it is possible to find us! Have a pleasant breakfast and walk into the town of East Looe. Opposite The Guild Hall Market is the turn, up Shutta Road. A little-little bit stifff-f-f walk up, but it is worth it to climb a bit, so the week's exercise is done as well! The signs of The Old Hall Bookshop will lead you, no doubts.

After you climb up the steep hill to reach The Old Hall Bookshop, there are just two little steps by the door and you're in... Classics on your left, Fiction on your right, but don't stop too long there, you go further... You want to cuddle deeper in the soft blanket of the smell of old and new books. Then, after a little while, you go up the stairs to the gallery and you feel the magic begins...
