Donate your books

We can’t run our bookshop without you.

We rely on readers to pass on their loved books so we can constantly re-stock our shelves and offer our customers true literary treasures. Our generous book donors are the life blood of the shop – without you we just couldn’t keep on raising money.

Each summer we pass on our profit to a charity chosen for the exceptional work it does either locally or internationally.

So don’t leave those books gathering dust on your shelf – pass them to us to work their magic again.

Charity

This is the beating heart of The English Bookshop.

We give our profit to charity.

If reading can raise money for charities supporting people in need then we’re right there.

Each year we choose a charity our customers will believe in knowing the proceeds after tax from each book they buy is going into action where needed.

This year we are supporting Le Croix Rouge (Red Cross) here in the village for the dedicated work they do for people in daily need, for example the foodbank.

About

We are readers with heart. We love our shop and love to welcome people in.

Reading is dreaming; a good book opens minds, experiences and souls.

You’ll find us in St Antonin Noble Val, an exquisite medieval village nestled in a gorge on the banks of the Aveyron just north of Toulouse.

When people come to St Antonin they switch off; it’s a world away from the bustle of everyday life and we like to believe our bookshop can add to that switched off feeling.

Our books, mostly fiction, line the shelves up the winding staircase and our eclectic collections can sometimes offer real surprises.

Our children's room will offer smiles to all ages

Come and explore. You’ll find a warm smile and a quirky, rustic charm.
