The Vintage Bookworm

The Vintage Bookworm UK is an independent shop bringing together vintage and antiquarian books, handmade stationery, and thoughtful gifts for readers. Its collection spans literature, poetry, fairy tales, myths and legends, household and society, nonfiction, and books by forgotten female authors. Shoppers can also find nearly new hardbacks, curated new titles, and collectible editions, including illustrated books, classic poetry, and finely bound volumes.

The shop aims to make collecting old books accessible to different budgets and believes each book is waiting for the right home. Its “Adopt a Book” collection gives more worn antique reading editions a chance to be enjoyed again. Alongside books, The Vintage Bookworm offers book-themed cards and gifts, many featuring designs by artist Hazel Hicklin. Handmade fabric-covered diaries and notebooks are another specialty, crafted with fabrics including Liberty of London and William Morris designs. Through its online store and Etsy shop, the brand serves readers seeking distinctive books, stationery, and bookish presents.
