Chaucer Head Bookshop

Fodor's Choice

The best of Stratford's many secondhand and antiquarian bookshops is a great place to pick up books on British history and travel. Note that it's closed Sunday through Wednesday.

Shakespeare Bookshop

Fodor's Choice

Run by the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust, the bookshop carries Elizabethan plays, Shakespeare studies, children’s books, and general paraphernalia. It's worth picking up a copy of Maggie O’ Farrell's novel Hamnet here since so much of the action takes place at the Birthplace itself.
