The Book Shop

The Book Shop has been part of Lee-on-the-Solent’s High Street since 1928, when it was opened by Mr Leonard Miles. It is the last of the bookshops he established, and today welcomes readers into the same building where the story began. Its collection spans a range of genres, with books alongside cards, stationery, maps, toys and gifts. The shop’s role goes beyond what is on the shelves. It hosts book events and annual festivals, runs book clubs and supports reading through The Literacy Project. The team describes itself as a friendly group of booklovers with varied reading habits, and is happy to order a title that is not in stock. From browsing in store to joining a literary event, the shop brings local readers together around books and the pleasure of reading.
