The staff are always so friendly and attentive however busy they are. I am always so amazed how many lots they have every week and they are all photographed and on their website. If you cant make it to the auction you can bid over the internet which will be invaluable with the present situation. Even if you cant get there you must look on the website which is so easy to use.

We had arrived in Petersfield one late rainy night for a poetry gig. In the square was a statue of William 111 or "of Orange" as he was known. . King Billy is more famous for the Battle of the Boyne and how his memory is kept alive every year in the North of Ireland. William died in 1702 of pneumonia following a broken collar bone after a fall from his horse. Maybe this statue is that moment when pride came before a fall. Or the town has a good sense of irony. Now this cold sunny day we have come to visit The Petersfield Bookshop who are interested in local poet Richard Hawtree whose THE NIGHT I SPOKE IRISH IN SURREY we have just published. And yes this started as a visit but became an experience. The "Bookshop" gathered us in and we were at once enwrapped in its atmosphere...time stood still and we floated amongst its many tomes and intellectual bric-a-brac. It is a shop to fall in love with...to merely "like" doesn't do it justice. One can only LOVE a shop that dares to be this unique and have such character and sense of itself. It is eccentric and eclectic and enjoyably engaging. It is charming and enthusiastic in its approach to customers( bookloveras) and friendly beyond belief. The staff are suitably superb to match the manner of the bookshop. It is as if one stepped into a fairytale by mistake and breath in wonder instead of air. The shop expands in reality as it does in the imagination and one can wonder and wander from room to room. On one's journey from shelf to shelf one will encounter many bygone toys from a forgotten age of childhood as if one had entered the pages of an Angela Carter come alive. The Magic Toyshop indeed. There is a manakin stuck to the ceiling wearing an army green uniform. Another makakin hangs around in a corner wearing a nurse's uniform. Ahhh I see I have forgotten to mention the tiger and bear skins also attached to the ceiling...how tawdry of me. One, as one can see, has to look at once everywhere to take in a mysterious myriad of delights. There in a glass cabinet is an full scale replica of the F.A Cup that Pompey won back in the day beating favourite Wolves 4-1 in the "Gland Final" of '38/39( a reference to 'monkey gland' testosterone injections – used by both teams that season. See it was not only poet Willie Yeats got up to such shenanigans. The owner John Westwood came in as we were going out and he was a true blue Portsmouth fan dressed from the tip of his hat to the top of his toes in glorious Pompey colours and a fine metal belt proclaiming POMPEY. Not just a fan but a super Super Fan. There is a skeleton foot and a skeleton hand somewhere about. The sense are glutted with surprise after surprise. One can see what a mecca this was for local poet and booklover Richard Hawtree who must have to be pried loose from the beauty of the books to which he clung like a barnacle. Every month or so they run a Dead Poets Event in which they pursue the past away poet with live readings and discussions about his work. We had just missed( alas alas)a Keats but will make it to the Byron. This bookshop is a thing of beauty and a joy forever. We of Dempsey and Windle publishing the now alive and kicking poets of our generation were overwhelmed by this amazing 100 year old bookshop that had everything we could imagine and everything we couldn't imagine all in this one time and place. Our senses were overwhelmed and we reentered the world of now and time clicked on again much enriched by having experienced such a wonder. One of the questions Tripadvisor asked was if it were a good place to go on a honeymoon and if you are a lover of books then the answer is a resounding YES. And again YES YES as Molly Bloom would have so succinctly put it.

This place is a real gem. A must place to visit with real gems to find. A friendly family run business who helped me to choose a beautiful diamond and sapphire engagement ring which proved to be stunning quality when I had it valued. Lovely place and lovely people.
