Lewes Book Centre

Wonderful shop for browsing or buying. Top qulaity stock and extremely helpful staff. What they haven’t got. they will doevery thing possible to get it. Parking ok in car park by The Dorset.

My word, if ever there was a bookshop for boys this was it. Tanks, planes, race cars, steam engines and several volumes by Jeremy Clarkson, ha haaaaah wonderful if they sold airfix kits and cap guns they would be well away. As it says on the front these folks are military history specialists, but that’s not all they cover here, while you may be hard pushed to find a section on trash paperback romance novels there are a few reference sections that ladies might find interesting. God knows I don’t want to draw stereotypes, but the selection of girls that would find what the Lewes Book Centre has to offer interesting is definitely going to be smaller than that of the boys.
The folks that work here seem a little odd but in my experience that’s par for the course for anyone who has a little too much to do with military history. Come, spend a few hours browsing, leave with a manual for a Sherman tank and wonder why you don’t know more about heavy artillery.

These poor guys lost 50% of their stock and suffered horrendous water damage in the floods of 2000 but have successfully pulled things back on track with the help of an excellent online ordering service backing up the friendly and cozy shop.
They specialise in military history books from before and after the two World wars. I’ve bought a couple of things from here and they really are interesting and educational at the same time.
In my opinion, its a lot better going to a proper bookshop than lurking around on Amazon.
