The Weston Library is part of the Bodleian Libraries and is where you go to book on the day tours – many areas of the Bodleian can only be accessed by members of the public via official tours (I’ll talk more about the process of booking in a later post where I talk about the tours I went on). It is also an exhibition space which had three free exhibitions on when I visited.
On my March trip to Bath I made sure to pop into Persephone Books at 8 Edgware Buildings, not far from the centre of the city. I’d vaguely heard of it before but hadn’t thought to look into actually going there until we went to visit the Royal Crescent on this trip (a later post) and I noted the bookshop was on the way. They reprint fiction and non-fiction, mostly by women, that has been neglected and would be out of print otherwise.
