What our customers think
Stumbled past this place whilst exploring Melbourne. What luck! Was directed to a book I had been long searching for and bought another two. Comprehensive catalogue. They who were working there were beautiful people. Just a shame I live in Sydney.
This is a gem of a bookstore. Great selection of books, carefully curated by someone who knows what they’re doing. Most books look new or only lightly read. Lots of good Australian content. If Already Read was a rock album, it’d be describe as “all killer, no filler!”
Oh I love this book shop!
All the books you could ever want and most of them don’t even look second hand
Love this bookshop, cannot walk out without at least 5 books in hand.
