About

A massive sprawling metropolis of new and secondhand books hidden away in one of Hobart's central arcades...

Story

Lightning flashes. Thunder crashes...
A crazed longtime local bibliophile laughs into the night.
Before him, in quiet repose, lies The Imperial Bookshop: Tasmania's largest secondhand bookshop.
Once it had been his master...
Now those roles are reversed.
Carefully, tenderly, lovingly, he clamps electrodes to the pert nipples of The Imperial.
He flicks a switch.
There's a sizzling sound; smoke fills the air; something smells like delicious roast chicken...
Then there's a loud groan, a moan, and a barely audible fart.
The bibliophile steps back...
And Cracked and Spineless New and Used Books takes its first few tentative steps forward.
It's alive.
It's alive!
IT'S ALIVE!!!!!!

Reviews

Just visited Cracked and Spineless in the heart of Hobart. Hidden away in an unassuming little arcade it is a treasure trove of new and second hand fiction with a horror section to die for. Picked out a few treasures

Such a wicked bookshop! The owner knows his stuff and has some great suggestions. I devoured every book suggested within days of visiting. Kinda wishing I was a local now just so I could get my horror fiction fix regularly from here.

Such a great bookshop for both new and secondhand books, and I can confidently say it is my favourite! It is worth the travel from Endor to check it out. The only downside is that they don't take Imperial Credits, but thankfully you can convert them to Australian Dollars down the road. 5 stars!

Great service , friendly helpful and knowledgeable with all types of books , incredible range . I live in Queensland and buy all my books through this incredible store

The place is like a book wonderland. Shelves are full and piles of books lie everywhere. Richard is great and will select books for you. Great range of new and used fantasy and sci fi books. Facebook page is awesome too, check it out.

An eclectic mix of books, a business that embraces social media, an owner who will seek out your requests...what's not to like!

Eclectic range and sooo many books. Especially good for Tasmaniana and sci-fi and fantasy.

This bookstore was heaven! We had to search for it, but I’m so glad we did. I HIGHLY recommend coming here. I will confidently say this is my favourite bookstore ever. The help I got from owner was amazing, I walked in asking for a horror recommendation and I could’ve easily spent and hour talking with him about his favourites. He even has stick insects on his counter. Honestly I’m still in awe. I will make sure I visit this store every time I come down to Tassie.

Amazing range and lots of cool eclectic stuff. Knowledgeable and helpful owners

The best bookshop in Hobart. Mike has unsurpassed knowledge of Tasmanian books and books in general. Richard is up with everything SciFi, Fantasy and generally quirky. Masses of second hand bargains including rare and unusual. All the latest best sellers.They will source anything you want. Hours of browsing, atmosphere and intelligent conversation
