The Bookseller is a very small second-hand book shop in an old building on Sedbergh Main Street. It…read morehas a very beautiful and eye-catching sign featuring a painting of the Howgill Fells, and once inside the shop it's very nice not only to look at but also to be in, with tall wooden shelves on all sides and an amazing view out of the window of Winder Fell. Recently they have rearranged the shelves and removed a central stack so there is more room to move around, and they have opened up the rear of the shop so that it is now a browsing area, where it previously held the counter. I find the new arrangement a bit off-putting as you are confronted by the owner and the counter as soon as you come in - before they were a bit hidden at the back. The best thing about the Bookseller is that they have some gorgeous old children's books with fabulous illustrations which you don't find so often in the other book shops. However they can be a bit pricey, which is a shame.

I found a really nice piece today, and they allowed me to have it put by, and pay for it gradually. Some things seem over-priced, but then I feel that about most jewelery.

Full disclosure; I have met the owners of this shop and like them personally. Nevertheless,…read morespeaking as objectively as possible, I do recommend their unique craftsmanship on its own merits. Their very creative shop engraves gorgeous crystal objects, everything from a set of personalized wine glasses, to any image you care to have deeply etched into a memorial glass, to impossibly delicate butterflies sculpted to form a crystal bowl. Words don't do their artful craft justice, I suggest you check out their web site to see samples of their work for yourself. For me, they created on lovely crystal a personalized memento of my trip through this astoundingly scenic area, as well as a deeply meaningful image of a loved one whom I had lost recently. I was very moved when I saw the results. I also know that they have created treasured heirlooms worthy of the royals, for whom they have created masterpieces on special occasions. Located discreetly in the back of the shop, there hangs a picture of The Queen watching as the master craftsman creates one of his pieces for her. I understand that crystal engraving at this level is a dying craft, so if you happen to be in this picturesque area you owe it to yourself to pay this little shop a visit.
