Welcome to
The Bookshop on the Square
An independent book shop driven by a passion for reading, with beautiful books, cards and gifts curated for you from a cobbled market place in the heart of Yorkshire
Books curated for YOU
Nestled in the bustling market town of Otley in the beautiful Wharfe Valley, our bookshop is a haven for readers. Books from local authors, best-sellers, classic fiction, nature, poetry and a large selection of books for kids and teens are here for you to escape into.
As well as books we have a wide selection of carefully selected design-led gifts, cards and gift wrap.
Book Subscriptions
Treat yourself or fellow book lover to our bespoke bookshop subscription service. Each month you will receive two mystery blurbs to choose from two new paperback fiction titles we have enjoyed ourselves! You can choose to buy a 3, 6 or 12 month subscription.
Events
We regularly have author events, book clubs and social gatherings, held in our beautiful upstairs space, where we celebrate all things literature.
Buy online
We have a range of signed and special editions and local titles available to order for collection or delivery.
