They have a fantastic range of books over all genres, the staff are always happy to have a chat and make a recommendation, unfortunately like most things the books do cost more than if you were to purchase online but I'm always happy to support a great local business especially when the staff are always so welcoming

My favourite shop! Wonderful service, from staff who know books and how to treat customers. Has great specials as well. Best independant bookshop in Australia :)

I enjoy shopping at Petrarchs, as the staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful. The shop offers a wide range of books, calendars, diaries etc. If they do not have what you are looking for, they willingly look it up and offer to order it for you. They also offer friendly advice and tips on similar topics. They always have a variety of books on special - at exceptional value for the quality of the books. They have a wide variety of local calendars and diaries, which make suitable gifts.
