about us…
CHAPTER 34 is an independent bookshop in the heart of Shoreham-By-Sea on the south coast. We are here for everyone and anyone that loves to read and will encourage you to be open minded in your book choices.
Every aspect of CHAPTER 34 is designed to help you discover new books, ideas, and encourage you to look beyond what you usually read. Our shelves are arranged according to themes such as ‘The Self Shelf’ and ‘Wanderlust’, so you can discover new stories, ideas and wonders.
We stock books covering a huge variety of subjects alongside new releases and prize winners. Our stock changes frequently so our regulars never get bored.
We are very lucky to have our very own Children’s Bookseller, Carmen, who curates our children’s area, which we call ‘Mini Minds’, devoted to their huge imaginations.
Chapter 34 stands against racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia and the oppression of all marginalised communities. We do this by carrying and promoting books by a diverse range of authors, over a diverse range of subjects.
We also want to hear from you… just fill out our contact form.
