New: Check out our online catalogue!

Jura Books is an anarchist bookshop located in Sydney, Australia. As anarchists, we try to organise without hierarchy or privilege.

We stock new and old books on a range of topics, including (but not limited to): classical anarchist texts, ecology, economics, feminism, unionism (history and theory), globalisation, and many more. Come in and check out our huge pamphlet collection. We also stock t-shirts and badges of various designs and vintages.

If you're looking for rare books, old books or study materials, check out the Fanya Baron Library.

We source our books from various radical suppliers in Australia and overseas. We regularly order from AK Press, Annares books, and Astam Books. We will gladly order any specially requested books from our suppliers - just ask!  If you are self-publishing your work (including t-shirts, pamphlets, badges, CDs and books) and want Jura to stock copies, please contact us.

Workers Control Centre

The Workers Control Centre is a computer lab and printing space that we
make available to anyone who is fighting for workers control. We have several internet-capable computers, a printer and scanner. Its a co-operative workspace with long benches that are ideal for piecing pamphlets together!

There is no fee for using the computers (including internet). We do ask that you call in advance, so we can make sure there's someone here who can help you get acquainted with the system.

Meeting Spaces
Jura Books has several great meeting spaces. Come and use the Workers Control Centre for your pamphlet working bee. Or use the Fanya Baron Library for craft workshops or conferences (or anything that needs more chairs or floor space). You can hold small meetings in our shop lounge - just drop in!

We ask that organisations who meet at Jura make a gold coin donation to help us pay the bills.

Events @ Jura
Jura regularly holds events such as meetings, forums, film nights and gatherings. You can find out what's coming up by clicking here.

History of the shop
The name 'Jura' is a tribute to the Jura Federation, an anarchist group that organised in the region of the Jura Mountains (France) during the 1800's.
