The Postbox topper on the Market Place has been changed to celebrate World Book Day on 2nd March 2023. As Abingdon has three bookshops, it is well placed to support children in choosing and owning a book.

Mostly Books is among 59 bookshops nominated to become Independent Bookshop of the Year.

The Bookstore has been serving customers for nearly twenty-five years in Abingdon – since November 1998. I see they have, local author, Steve King’s book, ‘Now I grow Oranges’, in the window.

World Book Day primarily aims to encourage children to read books, but there is nothing to stop adults from getting a new book on World Book Day. There are £1 books available, especially for World Book Day.

There is also W H Smith.
