Caxton Books and Gallery Information

It was in 1476 that William Caxton established England's first printing press in Westminster.  The first book known to be printed there was 'Sayings of the Philosophers' one year later.  Over the last 530 years times have changed but at Caxton Books and Gallery in Frinton you could still get hold of a more modern copy of that first printed work.  Of course, there's much more besides...

Caxton Books  is the only independent bookshop in the Frinton area and always offers a wide selection of books from non-fiction to fiction.  Books currently reviewed are always stocked, so you'll have no trouble picking up the latest chart toppers, along with a great range of children's books, reference books, hobby & interest books, humour and cookery books.  The owners specialise in tracking down out-of-print books too,  so they might be able to source a book you had long since given up on.

Books, of course, make some of the best presents and with this in mind Caxton Books offers a free gift-wrapping service and a broad selection of excellent greetings cards.  In case you're not sure what the lucky recipient already has in their book collection, Caxton Books also offers gift vouchers.  When you factor in the ability to source out-of-print books too, you find a winning formula for any birthday or Christmas gift.  Frinton's Caxton Books also provides an excellent book ordering service, usually with next-day delivery on individual orders.  You could even pick up a Naxos Classical CD to listen to while you read.  It's no wonder that  this Frinton bookshop is one of the best in the Tendring region.

Frinton's Caxton Books and Gallery is not only a bookshop but  also displays and sells superb local art.  Have a look at  their webvert under the 'Art Galleries and Dealers' category on The Best of Frinton and Walton.
