Open: Tues - Sat 10.00 - 5.00 (Mondays by appointment).
"My favourite old bookshop" - Max Wykes-Joyce, Collector's Guide. Est. 1971. Good quality diverse general stock. Specialist in Gloucestershire and Worcestershire topography. All most welcome. Books bought. Car park at rear of shop. We attend Churchdown Book Fair on the first Sunday every month.
Good quality general stock with antiquarian titles in with everything else. Below average prices. - Chris Harte 14.04.09.
I gladly second Chris Harte's comment. Two additional ones might be helpful for visitors to know in advance: 1) at the moment the owner doesn't accept cards, but is actively exploring the possibility of doing so; and 2) the car park at the rear is a pay-and-display, but is quite reasonably priced. - Geoffrey Warner 07.07.11.
This has recently changed hands to the person who has been assisting in the shop for 5 years. He is to keep up the good tradition of Bookworms and also to catalogue and put stock on-line. A very pleasant owner and shop. - Mary 16.07.11.

Everything appeared normal except he has shortened his opening hours - typically 11.00 start and earlier finishes. However, yesterday he was still not open at 11.15. - Greg Howell 27.07.09.
Whenever I have tried to visit this bookshop in the past two or three years, it has always been closed, no matter what time of day. If is therefore difficult to comment on the contents, although the window display looks interesting. If you are travelling any distance, you should definitely ring in advance. - Geoffrey Warner 07.07.11.
Rather tired stock and owner. A 'Sale 50% off' sign in the window looked as if it had been there for months. Disappointing. - Mary 16.07.11.

Sedgeberrow Books have relocated (May 2010) to much larger premises in the centre of Pershore, offering nearly 1000 sq ft of books. All subject areas expanded, with hugely enlarged specialist sections in history, military history, transport and art. Wide and varied selection of older literature. Booksearch service. We also offer a wide selection of jigsaws, local photographs and a bespoke picture framing service.
Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area, whether the other bookshops are open or not! If I say that the military and history sections are very good, that doesn't mean the others aren't; I am merely commenting on my own special interests. - Geoffrey Warner 07.07.11.

Several rooms carrying large diverse stock. Quality books bought and sold. Music a speciality. By the Priory steps near the Post Office.
Lovely and friendly shop- two floors, five rooms and good range of stock (much of it, frustratingly, not shelved by topic yet). Prices were generally good, though the newer items seemed a tad overpriced. - George Marshall 25.02.10.
A long established book shop in a good position. Pleasant owners and some good stock although some is quite ordinary. - Mary 16.07.11.
