Red Lion Books
Welcome to our shopfront page on bookshop.org. Here we present themed selections of books that we love. You can use the search box at the top of the page to search all other available titles. Any books you buy (from our lists or from wider searches), will benefit Red Lion Books. For further help please email [email protected] or find out more about us at www.redlionbooks.co.uk/home
We have a constantly changing selection of special editions and books signed by the author. These books are held at our shop in Colchester and cannot be listed here.
Red Lion Books is an independent book shop in Colchester’s High Street. We have an unshakable belief in the value of physical books and their continuing, rightful place at the heart of a community. We present the best books we can find across both adults and children’s sections - thoughtfully chosen and attractively displayed.
We are firmly embedded in the cultural life of Colchester and beyond, supplying local schools and organising seven monthly book clubs. We host author events both in Colchester and further afield; travelling around the county through our close involvement with the Essex Book Festival. Red Lion Books was founded in 1978 by Peter and Sarah Donaldson.
