curious finds for curious minds 🛻📖
Experienced books to your neck of the woods.
As your local(ish) bookshop on wheels, we unearth unusual, recommended, intriguing, sometimes odd (always desirable) books with a past, and present them for your discovery.
What’s with the name?
Spend enough time with your head tilted to the side, scouring bookshelves for things that make you whisper “Wow!” in reverent tones, and you’ll end up with a pretty wicked crick in your neck. Bookneck, if you will.
It’s easily cured with gentle stretches, a mug of tea, a comfy armchair, a cat in your lap, and a nice, long read. Bonus points if it’s raining outside and you’re sitting by the window in a Georgian country house drawing room.
Oh, the places we go!
Never the same bookstore (and rarely in the same place), Booknecking is about the joy of the browse, so tracking us down is all part of the magic.

Curiouser & curiouser…
Booknecking is always more fun when you have someone to “oooh” and “aaaah” over the amazing stack of books you just discovered.
It’s certainly our favourite part of the job. So do, please, join us for a game of “What’s in the box?”
“Last night I went to Manderley again…”
What starts as a sun-drenched romance drives off a Monte Carlo cliff into a modern gothic cautionary tale about self-erasure, obsession, and a past that refuses to stay buried.
A little shelf awareness
We’re building our online shelves as we speak. For now, here’s a taste of what you’ll find when you come looking for us.
Eavesdrop on the inner lives of our most celebrated artists and crack open the polished mythology around these great figures, who turn out to be just working people trying to make things, pay bills, find confidence and figure out their lives.
A dystopian novel about a society where surveillance, propaganda and fear are used to control reality itself. This used to be fiction. (What a cover!)
Smith gently satirises screen culture while celebrating the simple pleasure of getting lost in a story. Funny, slightly cynical and surprisingly affectionate, it’s really a love letter to reading itself. Oh, and it’s for kids.
Interested in partnering with us?
