About us

East Bristol Books is a small independent bookshop on Old Market, the historic eastern gateway to Bristol's city centre. Radical, diverse, independent-minded, and community-orientated, EBB reflects the nature and values of East Bristol.

We specialise in independent, small-press and DIY publishing and culture, with particular emphasis on poetry, fiction in translation, and politics. EBB is also home to a shifting array of print ephemera: chapbooks, pamphlets, mags and zines. As well as literature, we love love music, art, exploratory non-fiction and critical writing, the weird, the folky, the rooted (in the right way), and place, landscape, and our nonhuman neighbours.
