The Book Case in Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire is on the main road through town (A646) west of the traffic lights, before the Coop supermarket and has been serving the town and area for 26 years.
We have a wide selection of new and classic fiction and non-fiction for all ages. Hebden Bridge is known both for its wealth of local history and as a base for walking in the Pennines, and The Book Case stocks all current local history titles and local guide books.
Royd Press which is based at The Book Case is a publisher of several local history titles as well as reprints of popular local literature. These are available from the Online Book Shop. Please explore our main website to read about our current selections and our monthly newsletter.

Haworth, where the famous Brontë sisters lived, is only a few miles over the moors. The late Poet Laureate Ted Hughes was born in Mytholmroyd two miles away, and he and Sylvia Plath later lived in the village of Heptonstall perched above Hebden Bridge on the edge of Pennine moorland. Anne Lister, whose diaries give such a vivid insight into the life of the lesbian traveller and landowner in Halifax in the early 19th century, lived at Shibden Hall just 8 miles away.
Apart from the owners, Peter and Anne Tillotson, three experienced booksellers work in the shop; Felicity, Kate and Simon with help from Ness, Carol, Anna and Rob. Each one of us has brought different areas of interest to the shop which is reflected in the range of stock and our ability to research and supply information about current English and American titles on many subjects. We can often supply titles which are unavailable elsewhere.
