Mr B's Emporium of Reading Delights

Mr B's is a beautiful, energetic and innovative bookshop on John Street in the heart of Bath. It's a bright labyrinthine space where book-related chatter and advice seems ever-present and you never know what you might encounter next, from claw-foot bath book displays to toilets illustrated by Chris Riddell. We are know for our relentless wish to find the perfect book-matches for our customers, be it through recommending on the shop floor, our Reading Spa experiences or our bespoke Reading Subscriptions. 

We opened our shop in 2006 and have twice been named the UK's best independent bookshop. In 2015 the Guardian named Mr B's one of the ten best bookshops in the world.
