Elizabeth's Bookshop

A gem of a bookstore. You never know what you might find on the droopy shelves. Be sure to dig and look up high.

If you're looking for something in particular, the staff are so helpful. If not, they can advise an author. Elizabeth's is a leading example of warm, efficient service. Browsing here is so interesting too! A great way to pass time.

Been loyal customer for many years. I have spent huge$$$. When not bought any books am IgnoredFriendly service is missing! After years of being a loyal customer, one would expect better! Over places that are only nice to you when you shell out big bucks! Customer service is a skill that is rusty with some!
Been back to bookshop, an spent$$$ on books. When I go in an do not buy books, am ignored, an treated coldly! Amazed when retail owners treat customers badly, yet 'friendly' when we 'open' our wallets!
Alway's been polite an friendly to all staff members whenever been in store!
Your reply demonstratesTRUTH of what I have said! Glad many (Owners/Managers) of my reviews appreciate 'honest comments' an learn&improve. Instore overheard two female staff' members 'joking 'about overcharging customers prices on books!

"We can put whatever mark up we want on our books"
Should give you an idea of their business model. Would definitely recommend going anywhere else.

Amazing bookstore! I could spend an eternity there. Great books and the prices are awesome.

You need to spend a good hour or two here if you visit! Such an amazing selection of books.one of the best I've seen in a long time. Great prices too and books are well organised into categories. I want to come back when I have more time available to really rummage.

It was AWESOME.

I didn't know how to explain what I was looking for as I haven't read a book in 20 years, so I used single words, Manifesting, Spiritual, Thomas Harris, ah. Anne Rice.

I was directed to sections by a lovely lady, then I remembered what I was after The Art of War, she led me straight to it.

Super helpful and friendly, I need to go back and get more books from her, she knows her stuff, wish I could remember her name, I'll ask when I go back and update this post.

Found my book store

Very diverse library. You find many interesting things to read but please be patient because there are so many books that you don't know where to start.

This is a place that sells you used books for too much money. They don’t accept reasonable offers because they’re doing well selling low value stock at at inflated prices. You’ll find better books and more reasonable prices at Goulds.

I love this place! Everyone is always so helpful and friendly. I always checked out staff recommendations for new books because they always pick really good ones. The "blind date with a book" setup is also a great idea that I kept coming back for. You can really find some great reads here.

Beautiful atmosphere and a great selection of books. Open super late and staff are always helpful

One of the best bookshops I’ve been to! Such a lovely small and cozy store with a variety of genres of books to choose from! Completely mesmerised by its “vintage” books, and the owner is just one of the nicest person. No doubt I’ll be coming here again soon!

Great store, I visit it every time I am in the area! Heaps of books on music, pop culture and vintage books to boot

Fantabulous! Always find something that interests me - you will as well - great history section and heaps of music biographies even comics and graphic novels and enough fiction titles to keep you reading for the rest of your life!

I bought 3 books

If you're having a moody day, there is no excuse to be grumpy at customers. Your job is to smile and welcome customers. I tried to talk a chubby employee and she made a face like she's disgusted of me. I don't feel comfortable to come back again in the future. Friendly service needs to be working on

Nothing better than a good late night secondhand bookshop. Open until 10m30 every night, good prices and good range with the books well sorted and categorised. Good turnover of stock means it's worth wandering in regularly - walk my dog in every fortnight or so and often find something new. Good general fiction, classics and sci fi sections, tables with lots of books set out to inspire a new purchase. Also one of the few places that will actually buy books (as long as they fit with their collection), good prices particularly if you swap for voucher - check when the buyer is in though first.

Wide range of new and second hand books.
Reasonable price.
Would recommend to everyone looking cheap price and good quality books.

Great location, friendly staff, great selection of almost new, pre-owned, and rare books on a large variety of subjects including but not limited to art, music, history, science, novels, biographies, philosophy etc.

Without a doubt, best bookshop in Newtown (maybe even Sydney). Love their mistery book initiative. Very friendly staff, ask them for a reccomendation if you don't know what to choose.

Probably one of the worst Natural History “sections” (about 4 books) of any bookshop I’ve ever been to, both here and abroad. Their science section leaves a lot to be desired too, mainly a mish mash of titles that very loosely tie to science.

Too be honest the shop isn’t worth trying to find a parking spot to browse. Much better offerings at other stores.
