Great for gap year travellers

I recommend Brendon Books if you are planning a trip anywhere, they have a fantastic range of reference books and maps and you can have a decent look nice an quietly without feeling pressured. There is nothing worse than rushing when you are buying a map and finding you should have got the next one over!

Thank you Brendon Books

After all the fuss we have had about library closures I do hope its made everyone think about the value of our bookshops,especially independent ones like our lovely Brendon Books.To heck with electronic gadgets ,there is nothing like the smell of a new book or being able to pass one on to someone else. Brendon are doing second hand books too now . I love this shop and its in Bath Place which is a great part of Taunton to shop.

Spacious and friendly bookshop

Bookshops vary so much and there are some I have been put off because they have felt too claustrophobic, and dark which is not good when you are trying to read! When I went to Brendon Books for the first time the other day I was pleasantly surprised. Tucked away in Bath Place off the High Street, it's one of those shops with the Tardis effect being a lot bigger inside than the shop front belies. It is roomy and well lit and the staff are very helpful.
They regularly have book signings and specialize in maps which I think is what gives them the edge.
A great place for the tourists.

Brendon Books and Maps

Brendon Books and Maps is an independent bookshop based in Taunton. They have established a very fast and efficient service and welcome questions and queries. They sell new and second hand books which you can buy online or in the shop. I prefer to browse for books physically when I have the option, which is why I like this particular bookshop. The staff are very friendly and patient so that I do not feel pressurised to purchase if I havent actually found anything. I really like their collection of history and political biographies.
