Surrey
There county's shops are rather thinly spread, with no concentrations in any one town, apart from two in Ewell. Goldsworth Books & Prints, with a stock of some 30,000 titles, claims to be the largest shop of it's type in Surrey. Their stock ranges from paperbacks to antiquarian books, and they always have an interesting selection of books on the arts. For Islamicists there's Joppa, and for cricket fans, JW McKenzie

Kent
Bookshop browsers are spoilt for choice in Kent. Rochester is Home to Baggins Book Bazaar, which claims to be "England's largest secondhand and rare bookshop", although there are those who would dispute this. The The Aviation Bookshop's recent relocation to Tunbridge Wells, swells the number of shops there to five, if you count Oxfam. Elsewhere in the county you'll find shops to suit most tastes and pockets.

West Sussex
With the recent closure of their Worthing branch, Kim's Bookshops are now reduced to two outlets. The Horsham Bookshop and Murray & Kennett have also gone, leaving Horsham without a secondhand bookshop. And after nearly 40 years in the town centre, The Chichester Bookshop relocated to Ross-on-Wye in August 2008, leaving the town with just one bookshop.

East Sussex
From the cheap and cheerful purveyors of modern second hand books, many of them to be found in Brighton, to the seriously pocket-lightening likes of Bow Windows Bookshop, the county can truly be said to have something for everyone.
