Story

We aim to be your 'third place' after home and work...maybe for some we're first or second.

'So often, a visit to a bookshop reminded me that there are good things in the world.' -Vincent van Gogh, 1877

Find it here. Buy it here. Keep us here.

“What I say is, a town isn't a town without a bookstore. It may call itself a town, but unless it's got a bookstore it knows it's not fooling a soul.” - Neil Gaiman

Locally, what goes around, comes around. But when you choose to ship in, all the benefits ship out.

"Bookshops are pillars of civilization, reservoirs of the imagination. There is nothing like being greeted by someone who is literate and decent and who reads and is happy to show you around.
But if you use Amazon and that works for you, that’s fine too. The world changes, and hopefully we’ll adapt. Certainly, we have it in our power to sustain bookshops. You simply have to use them…” Tim Winton
