We are a family run independent bookshop based in beautiful Totnes, Devon

With over thirty years experience in the book trade between us: from the shop floor to being part of a head office - combined with a life-long love affair with reading - opening a bookshop in our home town seems like what we are destined to do…

As well as a range of fiction and non-fiction titles from all genres, East Gate Bookshop has a comprehensive selection of books looking at the natural world: from nature writing to identification guides and books concerning environmental issues. We also have a strong focus on children’s books and are delighted to showcase local authors within our shop. We aim to create a community-minded shop reflecting the interests and passions of the people living in this thriving and unique market town
