Bookshop Description: (Est. 1981)

We are an established independent bookshop in Devizes, situated in a beautiful listed Georgian building. We are proud to have been chosen best independent shop in the Devizes Constituency for 2014. We carry a good range of new books, including titles of local interest, and boast a large children's book room. Our map selection includes both Michelin & Ordnance Survey and we have had our own "Devizes Walking Map" printed with Devizes at the centre. We are able to order any book not in stock, many delivered next day and also undertake "Out of Print" book searches. We are able to send books to any location in the world! Above the bookshop is an art gallery, with work by local artists, where we hold monthly literary evenings and occasional literary suppers. All of us at Devizes Books hope you are keeping well & we would just like to say a huge thank you for all the wonderful messages of support and for the orders which we are fulfilling, one way or another! If we can help with delivery of anything else (within reason) we are willing to help if at all possible! In case you are not aware there is a Devizes Covid-19 support group, amongst other things they do, they are able to facilitate picking up and delivery of prescriptions. Contact them on 01380 722160 Devizes Books are open again for browsing, just asking that customers adhere to our request that they should wear the gloves we provide. As before we are still able to take orders by phone, email, social media & notes shoved through the door, which can be sent directly to you by one our suppliers, or supplied from stock and delivered by post, or dog walker if local. Our stock obviously includes book tokens (ours & national), cds, vinyl, toys, cards, wrapping paper or anything in the gallery (subject to how on earth we get one of Colin’s paintings to you...)

Poems this week are Bright star, would I were stedfast as thou art By John Keats & Clouds by Rupert Brooke


Bright star, would I were stedfast as thou art By John Keats

Bright star, would I were stedfast as thou art—
Not in lone splendour hung aloft the night
And watching, with eternal lids apart,
Like nature's patient, sleepless Eremite,
The moving waters at their priestlike task
Of pure ablution round earth's human shores,
Or gazing on the new soft-fallen mask
Of snow upon the mountains and the moors—
No—yet still stedfast, still unchangeable,
Pillow'd upon my fair love's ripening breast,
To feel for ever its soft fall and swell,
Awake for ever in a sweet unrest,
Still, still to hear her tender-taken breath,
And so live ever—or else swoon to death.

Clouds by Rupert Brooke

Down the blue night the unending columns press
In noiseless tumult, break and wave and flow,
Now tread the far South, or lift rounds of snow
Up to the white moon's hidden loveliness.
Some pause in their grave wandering comradeless,
And turn with profound gesture vague and slow,
As who would pray good for the world, but know
Their benediction empty as they bless.

They say that the Dead die not, but remain
Near to the rich heirs of their grief and mirth.
I think they ride the calm mid-heaven, as these,
In wise majestic melancholy train,
And watch the moon, and the still-raging seas,
And men, coming and going on the earth.

The Toy Tree is joining forces with Devizes Books!
A prime example of small independent businesses helping each other out when trouble strikes. The Toy Tree, which specialises in handmade wooden toys, has closed at Old Swan Yard, after a combination of family commitments and competition from the internet .
But the reaction from their customers was a surprise. “People told me I couldn’t close so I looked around for other options.”
Devizes Books in Sidmouth Street, came to the rescue and are delighted to be able to host The Toy Tree. “I think this is a good example of small businesses supporting each other.”
