Kingborough Book Exhange

I hadn't been to the store since they changed locations, so today I decided to see if they'd improved. Only to find that this store is currently having a closing down sale. This isn't surprising. There is alot of stock, in no apparent order, that makes it impossible to find anything. Very unreasonably priced ($20 for a book that is $30 brand new). The prices are written in marker or pen on the cover so it can not be removed. Even having a closing down sale, all the stock is 20% off.. I don't think they will make any money before having to dump all their stock at the salvos.. Another prime example of a second hand dealer focusing on pricing rather than the turn over of stock (the cheaper to stock = the more stock you sell = the more room you have to sell more stock = the more money you make). A failed business by an amatuer retailer.

Approximate cost: $20

This small secondhand bookstore has a somewhat of a large range of books avaliable. The prices are a little steep generally and I have often found the service to be really very poor. The layout of the store makes finding books a little difficult. To be honest I am surprised this store is still in business as I have seen titles selling new for less that the secondhand prices this store is charging.

This is a nice little community book shop were you can take your old books in and be credited to exchange the books you have brough in for other books on the shelf, you can also buy books from there its a great little place to go and look in and the quality of the books are really good.
