Reviews

Can’t go wrong with Archives Fine books. Great quality of books, range, service and atmosphere. Truly the best rare find shop in Brisbane! The range really is wide, from your modern classics, translated books, cookbooks, to local authors, the stores’ got it all. Most of the time they’re in really great quality, and if not, they’ve always got some compromise for you. Great prices, the interior is charming, and service are friendly, knowledgeable and welcoming. Can’t resist coming here everytime I’m in the city or on the way home from uni. You never know what gem you’re going to find. Highly recommend the visit.

First time in this store and I fell in love, lots of old books to explore. The atmosphere was nice and cozy. Cheap price, easy to find anything you liked.

Absolutely love this shop and I visit it every time I'm in Brisbane city. The selection of all different sorts of books would rival any library and there are some truly rare and amazing finds to be discovered. You can also sell books here so you can walk in for a trade if you are short of money. I also thought one beautiful book was slightly overpriced as it was marked at $89, but after consulting the owner/manager and he agreed after a little research and sold me the book for $25 making my day. Will return here time and time again whether it's to add to my growing library or to find a unique gift for a loved one. Love books like I do? You will not be disappointed with a visit here.

This place is absolutely great . I have been looking for some titles that I have been missing and found three of them here . Love the look inside , you need ladders to access the highest shelves. Reminds me of a Harry Potter scene. I have a list of books that I am looking for and will definitely be back here. Very highly recommend that you go here

It's incredible that such an expansive and authentic bookstore could hide itself so central in Brisbane City. Old books, new books, book collections; you name it - they have it! There is also a peaceful reading table hidden at the back of the store if you need a quiet place to read or study.

Recently moved into the CBD and was thrilled to find a bookstore down the road. Had some books that I wanted to swap/recycle. Wandered down and had all twenty books summarily  and rudely rejected. Maybe they weren't mouldy enough. The rejection was a bit disheartening no real explanation and the rudeness was an added bonus. Will not be going back. Stick to the library folks!

My first time back in store after years of being away, and it’s just like I remember it. Such a treasure trove of wonderful books, and the staff are very friendly and helpful! An absolute must for book lovers

Absolute heaven for any bibliophile or if you just have a special interest. In just 1 visit I found 9 hard to find books for my husband. All non-fiction. Some vintage and some more recent. He was super happy with me. I also found several treasures for me. Happy sigh.... The sheer delight of searching through aisles and aisles of amazing books was the highlight of my trip to Brisbane. Oh and the staff are incredibly knowledgeable, very friendly and helpful. I HIGHLY recommend you pay a visit to Archives Fine Books. You won't be disappointed.

I’ve been going to Archives since I was a little boy trust me, that’s a long time. You will savour your first visit, the smell, the creaking floor, the stacks that seem to go on forever. So you could go for the endless books, but you’ll always remember the wonderful experience.  Also, go buy a book, share the love.

For years, I’ve loved this awesome bookstore. The range is magnificent. A trip to Brisbane is not the same without spending a few hours among their thousands of offerings. Unfortunately I was unable to visit on my recent trip, so I called and asked for help in finding my desired choices. I spoke with Hamish who, despite being alone and probably busy was both understanding and helpful. This is a person I can trust. I feel it. And so, I’ll leave it to him to select the books I need - and then I’ll pay by card and have the books shipped to me. Confidence, competence and care. Who could ask for more? I have haunted bookshops all over the world - from New York to London to Paris - but this is my favourite. Highly recommended.
