I'v been to this bookstore several times now - a great little gem tucked away at the bottom of Sturt St. A long narrow shop, it has numerous categories of books, mostly second hand, all of reasonable to good quality. Right down the back is a little coffee nook where you can have a hot coffee while you browse, but unfortunately this was broken the last time I was there (and really wanted a coffee too!).

You might find a rare or out of print book here though the majority are not that rare. All are very well priced according to their age and condition. The website has a search function where you can see if a book is in stock though the one time I used this it failed me. It said a book was in stock though when I rang to confirm I was told it had sold - a visit a few days later proved this to be incorrect as it was on the shelf. So not a failure of the search function as such, but probably a failure of the staff to check properly. Overall a great little bookstore which reminds me of Black's Book (without the rude, obnoxious Bernard serving!)

Approximate cost: $Varies
