Catching Lives Books
28 Palace Street, Canterbury, CT1 2DZ
For a local second-hand bookshop look no further than Catching Lives Books, the fund-raising bookshop for Catching Lives which is run entirely by a dedicated team of volunteers.
We occupy the most photographed building in Canterbury after the Cathedral! The Crooked House (also known as Sir John Boys House) is a delightfully skewed 17th century half-timbered three story building at the extreme end of Palace Street. It has projecting jetties over Palace Street and Kings Street and is opposite the famous Kings School.
We have a huge range of second-hand and collectable books and run entirely by a dedicated team of volunteers.
Opening Hours
The Book Shop is currently open Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays from 11am to 3.30pm.
