Abbey's Bookshop reviews
79Very cute book store. Had the exact title i was looking for after i got sent away elsewhere! The book i was getting was a gift and they wrapped it for $2. Loved the service, everyone was lovely.
This is my 1st purchase through this company and I cannot rate them high enough. They were polite and accommodating in every way. All the best for the future.
An old school bookstore with a broad selection. Searched three other Sydney bookstores for two specific titles, finally found them here.
This is one of Sydney's best bookshops.
Staff couldn't be more friendlier and helpful.
Lots of warm fuzzies here.
Book store with a dedicated sci-fi and fantasy section. Knowledgeable staff and wide selection of books. Also chairs.
Wonderful and unique bookstore. Definitely worth checking out. Very well organised and I liked the vibe of the place. I spent some time in the humor section, history section, politics section and foreign languages area upstairs. They had a fantastic range of things. I will definitely go back soon to buy some things soon.
Amazing bookshop for the sci-fi buff, language enthusiast or general bookworm. A Sydney institution that's well worth a browse due to their extensive collection.
I used to buy books for quite a while at Abbey's bookshop. I made the mistake to ask politely if my students - not me- could get a free postage, the answer was negative -it is all right- but could have been formulated politely. I also asked some information about a book which is in stock but was told to go to the editor website to get the answer to my question. Disappointing.
Friendly and knowledgeable staff, a very browsable collection of books in stock, and, of course, you can order much, much more. Abbey's has treated me exceedingly well over the years, and is my go-to retailer for books in print.
One of the best bookstores in Sydney. I have been going there for about 8 years now. This bookstore never disappoints.
Fantastic service!
I ordered 2 books online the other week, and the communication from Abbey's was phenomenal!
They contacted me within 24 hours of placing my order to advise a change in more order due to product availability.
I was refunded for the item which could not be delivered immediately, which was a very welcome surprise! My book arrived promptly and in perfect condition.
Thank you so very much, I cannot wait to place my next order with you, and hopefully to visit in person some day soon too!
Always a pleasant shopping/browsing experience at Abbey's. Prices are fair, staff are helpful, and you absolutely need to go just to see the classics section
Because I am bedbound visiting is no longer possible but the staff are so very helpful and knowledgeable I always get the greatest service
ACIC is a very professional organization. When I apply for a student visa, they will patiently answer any questions I have in the first time. With Phoebe's help, my visa application process went without any problems, I'm really lucky and grateful.
A great place where you can find lots of books in many different languages! A special thanks for the welcome to the team and for the time spent on replying my questions. The team is dedicated and ready to help.
I made an order online and received exceptional and honest customer service, also very efficient and friendly staff. Would highly recommend.
I had been searching high and low for two different collections of children’s books that are only partially available here in Canada. The rest of the collection is only available is Australia. After a long web search I finally found Abbey’s Bookshop and was delighted to find out they ship to Canada! The ordering process was easy and the customer service was supberb! I had to order in two shipments because one of the books was on hold, but the wait time was not very long at all. I was under the impression that shipping was going to take some time, but in fact it was very fast, less then two weeks! I can’t say enough great things about my first international book buying experience!
The SFF section upstairs is wonderful. The staff are so helpful. I found a lovely dragon motif totebag - very happy customer.
Really great place competitive prices, friend staff and a great catalogue. Amazing books for everyone
