Kim's Bookshop was started in 1971 in Worthing by Kim Francombe an avid book collector whose vast collection started taking over her house. Outgrowing her front room, she opened a small shop in West Buildings, Worthing with a stock of 250 books. This shop became a well-known glory hole of interesting volumes and was soon recognised for the enthusiasm and knowledge of Kim and her eldest daughter Camilla.
Apart from a visit to our bookshop which is located at the bottom of the High Street, there is much to see and do in the medieval town of Arundel. Referred to in the Doomsday Book of 1086 this Saxon town is dominated by the castle which was originally established by Roger de Montgomery in 1067.
The latter part of the 16th century saw the Earldom and castle pass into the hands of the Duke of Norfolk whose family, to this day, still reside in the castle.Vying for dominance over the town, is the beautiful Gothic Cathedral built by Henry, the 15th Duke of Norfolk. We carry a vast array of books in both our shops covering everything from Art and Architecture to Zoology and Zoroastrianism.

Our Chichester shop is located in the County Town of the same and with its coveted Blue Plaque, shares a little of the history of this Cathedral City. The area was settled by the Romans in AD 43 and, standing as it does on the foundations of the Romano-British city of Noviomagus Reginorum, was linked to London and Silchester by the Roman road of Stane Street.
Although we are keen to buy older and rarer items, we also need to continually replenish our general stock. Specialist subjects are of particular interest to us, but we are happy to consider all subjects and genres. We are also keen to buy old photograph albums, ephemera, postcards and old travel journals.
Still looking for that elusive title? Something you recall reading as a child perhaps or maybe that final book in a trilogy? Whatever the reason, we are always delighted to assist you in finding a copy; be it new or second hand, if we don't have a copy in stock we will do all we can to find it for you.
