Nestled on the Seine's edge, facing Notre-Dame, Shakespeare and Company stands as a beacon for English-language literature in Paris. This enchanting bookshop has long been a sanctuary for wordsmiths and bibliophiles alike, weaving itself into the very fabric of literary history.
Embracing this legacy, proprietor Sylvia Whitman and novelist Adam Biles have curated a veritable feast of literary discourse. Over the years, they've orchestrated hundreds of riveting tête-à-têtes with an array of literary luminaries, from Booker Prize laureates to ground-breaking non-fiction authors.
Now, dear reader, prepare to embark on a thrilling journey through the minds of contemporary literature's finest. 'The Shakespeare and Company Book of Interviews' presents a carefully distilled selection of these captivating conversations from the past decade. This tome brims with wit, insight, and the unmistakable crackle of intellectual energy. It's not merely a book, but a portal into the inner sanctum of today's most celebrated wordsmiths, offering a tantalising glimpse into the alchemy behind their most talked-about works.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.
This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.
We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.
Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
