Gould's Book Arcade

About

"NOTHING HUMAN IS ALIEN TO ME" - a quote (from Roman playwright Terence) that Bob Gould often used to sum up the range of material that we have available.

Story

Bob Gould was a Sydney bookseller for more than thirty-five years, at a number of locations. The current shop has been in Newtown since 1988. Gould's Book Arcade specialises in out of print books, publishers remainders of the last 30 years, and second hand books, catering to the general reader, students and some specialist areas.

Australian history and politics and Australiana are the main specialty areas. The collection on labor movement and left-wing politics is the broadest in Australia, and stands up well by international standards, covering Australia but also other countries. The Art collection contains thousands of books. There are big sections on Military History, Poetry, Plays, Fiction, Movies, Science, Philosophy, and all areas of human interest and endeavour.

We also stock an extensive range of vinyl records and compact discs.

A visit to the shop would be worthwhile, as many titles will probably never be listed on-line.

The shop is about 5 km from the Sydney Opera House, located on King St, Newtown, near the University of Sydney, and is open late seven days.

Quaint old bookshop. It's a little bit out of the way but definitely great for anyone looking for almost any book under the sun. Plenty of rare books and curious titles for the avid reader or collector to check and see if they would be interested.

This must be one of the biggest book stores that I have been in. Awesome collection of books. I got what I needed. Helpful staff.

This is the mother of all used bookshops for sheer volume and for upholding the principle that you must keep EVERYTHING. Run by the Gould family for decades, this bookhoarders' paradise may well have that book no-one else can find anymore - if you can find it. The prices are a bit hefty but if it's for that otherwise unfindable volume then it's a fair enough deal. It is organised as far as it can be but let's face it, it's overloaded with books, this place.

Staff friendly very helpful. One young lady in particular helped me immensely to choose a book from literally thousands. Prices of books vary. A little surprised at the price of some, but then again have not purchased a book for years.

This store has a huge stock of books divided into many separate categories. Many many categories. Almost all stock looks at least second hand and prices are not necessarily cheap. The decor of the shop is depressingly grotty and air conditioning non existent. On a winters day this shop can be bitterly cold inside. Given the cheap, nasty atmosphere in this store you would expect prices to be lower.
