Beautiful space that is crammed full of books (in an organised way). There is so much to choose from and the people were really helpful in recommending one for Bad Santa.

Optional gift wrapping for a gold coin donation was also very handy and beautifully done.

There was also an extensive card range.

Can spend hours browsing, but also amazing that you supported a rushed and quick shopping trip.

My friends and I chanced into this bookstore and we highly recommend checking it out! The selection was wide enough to have what we were looking for and there are staff notes for those ĺ for a new read.

Such a great selection - so thoughtfully curated and full of hidden gems you wouldn't find otherwise! Love the new shelf talkers reviews as well to discover some staff favourites thanks to all the staff who are so helpful and friendly and always up for a chat

The bookstore Dymocks told you not to worry about. Staff here are awesome, very original and personalised feeling in this store. Warning though, you'll struggle to leave the store without buying a book. I learned this mistake the hard way - but I still can't keep away

Wonderful local bookstore with a comprehensive selection that belies the relatively small dimensions of the store.

A lovely independent bookstore. Great spot to meet friends before hitting Brunswick Street eateries and bars - fingers crossed your friends will be late and you can browse for longer… just be careful not to buy too many books!

Great help when asking for suggestions. Chris was attentive and gave multiple options of books he thought I might like. Great experience

Amazing range of children's books, and absolutely outstanding customer service. We ordered some books online while in hotel quarantine. Stephen delivered the books to our hotel the next day, and very kindly gave us some extra story books and activity books for the kids. So very kind and thoughtful, and Stephen went out of his way to accommodate us.

The person behind the counter was extremely knowledgeable about what was available and pointed me in the direction of two awesome books. Thankyou!

I was looking for a particular book, so my partner and I went to this shambles of a "bookstore". The moment I stepped in there, the monstrosity at the counter was rude to me and my partner. They didn't ask us if we wanted help, instead they acted like stuck up, arrogant people who oozed of "we're stuck in a dead end job" vibe. Anyway, don't go here if you ever want to find a book, just go amazon.

Lovely book store, well stocked and the book shop owner willing and engaging in a great conversation about books. Most enjoyable.

I love this really good service. If they don't have the book that you need go to great lengths. Order the book

They have a great selection of books, and it was amazing to be able to order online and collect my order on the same day during Melbourne's stage 4 restrictions.

Great book store! Parcel arrived quickly, I was very pleased to see the books were wrapped in paper, not in plastic. I was also surprised by a little free gift and a nice personal note:).

My favourite book store in Melbourne! Such a great assortment of books, and I found myself discovering titles I never knew existed thanks to the awesome curation from the staff. If you're a literary nerd you'll love this place. Although it's quite small it's beautiful and has a range of books more unique than your average chain bookstore.

Disappointed to find a book I registered for ‘click & collect’ this morning because there was only 2 copies left according to the system, was not in stock at all! Such a massive waste of time so beware - might be best to ring ahead as the ‘click & collect’ system cannot be trusted.

A great range. Helpful staff are also happy to order in books if they don't have them on the shelf and they always arrived promptly.

Quaint little bookshop in a cool area. Don't forget to check out the hidden savings and specials upstairs!

Great selection! There was also a sale on upstairs which was hard to navigate but good value. Staff were very friendly
