I think we have the champion edition of Mrs. Dalloway.

Mrs. Dalloway is one of my all time favorites too. My husband bought the annotated edition you are talking about, for me for my birthday last year and I just love this edition so much. I obviously also really love my 1928 Modern Library edition too. :) Geeking on books is the best! This bookshop looks wonderful! Oh to be in England.

Thank you for taking us along, it looks so idyllic 😊. Is it just me or does everyone feel like bookshops are always better in other cities or countries ? A kind of grass is greener, but with bookshops. I'm sure that plenty of people would say bookshops in Paris are so nice, but actually there are so few I enjoy, and keep drooling over videos of bookshops here on BookTube 😂 Tell me it's not just me... 🙄

Oh god this is the life i want to live with all the aesthetics

[BookwormAdventureGirl]

I may have drooled a little (or a lot) while watching this video. Putting this on my list for places to stop when I can travel to the UK again. Thanks for sharing. 😊💙

You make lovely videos. Gorgeous bookstore. Beautiful book. 👍💕

[RoisinsReading]

Oh that bookshop looks amazing! I live in Hertfordshire now so definitely need to check it out

[jamiedianne]

Books on the Hill looks so magical! ✨That annotated Mrs. Dalloway just might be on my wish list now…

[janedraycott]

I love stumbling across a beautiful new bookshop.

[GinaStanyerBooks]

The Chilterns! The vintage orange Penguins! I love it!

[KikiFu]

That is a stunning shop! I wouldn't have wanted to leave ❤️ Wow, such a gorgeous copy. That portrait is so beautiful. ❤️ After you read it I'd love to hear about your favorite aspects of this copy.

So excited to watch this - I absolutely love Books on the Hill and the booksellers in there are so lovely too!

[korean_foot_traveler]

There are many books which have nice covers. The pretty design arouses desire to open books.😀👍👍

Love Books on the Hill!

Did you also venture to Oxfam Books? It's the opposite end to BotH, and is one of the best ones in Hertfordshire! I always find a good book or few in there :)

[KatieRuby]

What a gorgeous book shop! I love the little height chart with the book characters 💖 those editions of the classics like Madam Bovery are beautiful. Leaving with only one book is amazing self restraint 🤣

[AylenL]

What a beautiful bookshop! And gorgeous edition of Mrs Dalloway. Were you aware of its existence before you found it there? Or was it FATE? :D

[hayleyc]

That bookshop looks like book heaven. So many classics old and new editions. I collect the Chiltern Classics and then I saw all the old classics in the video and I confess to pausing to try and read some of the titles.

What a lovely bookshop and a beautiful book

Thanks for another lovely video, Claire. I've had St. Albans on my list for a day trip last two times I've been over in London (live in Philadelphia), but haven't made it. I will definitely get there and to this bookshop as well on my very next trip! I have my own author/book obsessions and so I thoroughly appreciate your enthusiasm for Mrs. D.
