Withnail Books occupies 3 Corn Market in Penrith, near the town's clock tower, having moved there from the Brunswick Yard. It was opened by Adam Newell, a former London publishing employee, who named the shop after the film Withnail and I, parts of which were filmed nearby; his wife, the author Sharon Gosling, gave him a leather key fob stamped with the name before the shop existed. The shop has no formal connection to the film's makers. Stock runs to some 4,000 volumes of secondhand and antiquarian books, with particular strength in cinema and television, comics and graphic novels, and Cumbrian local history; a copy of Bruce Robinson's novel The Peculiar Memories of Thomas Penman is always kept on the shelves. The shop opens Tuesday to Saturday, 10am to 5pm.
