Urchin Books

I love that this shop is local to me, it's like stepping back in time! Alot to look at and struggle over buying everything lol

Great little secondhand bookshop that's chockers with books of all kinds, with a particularly robust science fiction and fantasy section. Charming, knowledgeable staff and a friendly atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Best book shop in the INNERWEST. Friendly staff and even a reading room if you would like to read your choice of book before buying it. Some great memorabilia and gifts.

My 3-year-old boy had a treasure hunt in the shop and found a box of vintage dumpling dynasty marbles which belongs to the grandpa’s generation. You could never find it elsewhere nowadays. This has since become his favourite toy.

One of my favourite stores to frequently pop into. Not just books, but super fun, geeky little trinkets and artwork. The staff are lovely and there's a room where you can hang out with cats if that's your jam.

Just love this place in my suburb! It is the go to for the best, sometimes quirky or retro cards (just went for a birthday one for my 26 yrs old son, and ended up getting one for my partner ahead of his birthday in August). You can browse as long as you like in the recycled books and 'things' sections. Unfortunately since Covid they don't have rescue cats in the lounge to the back - but always lovely people staffing the place.

Wonderful world of used books and alternate universe. Grabbed some Phantom comics and historic novel for the children

I love this place.
You never know what book you are going to buy.
The Customer Service is more than AAA class.
Every time I'm in Marrickville.
, I try to come here.
If you want a book and a surprise, Come here first.
You won't be disappointed.

Great little 2nd hand bookstore, which is also packed with hundreds of quirky, geeky little gifts too.

Cute and charismstic little book store in a good snd convenient location with quite the selections!

I don’t buy books anymore since pursuing that elusive minimalist lifestyle. But if I did, I would do here. They adore books, enjoy fostering a real sense of community and once the owner Rachel - gave me a poster with erotic art by Allen Jones.

This place is great the guy at the counter was funny and humorous I got a fallout iron sticker here it was amazing along with stickers for 50c each it was amazing and there well dome professional art or funny stickers to and they have a wide selection of star wars stuff and so on any nerd or geek or comic book lover should definetly go here thumbs up

As a book lover.this place is my go to to find secondhand books. Be it that obscure copy of Anne Rice or another edition of a classic. Great bookstore!

Small homely bookstore that has heaps of options for small gifts.

Not sure if they still do book swapping but the people are super lovely here!
