5 Cool Independent Bookshops To Visit In Brisbane

Brisbane book fanatics are spoilt for choice when it comes to independent bookshops. From second hand classics to trendy coffee table books, there is something for every book worm here.

1. Bent Books

There is something about a pre-loved book that every book worm yearns for, and Bent Books is the go-to for just that. Stocked with every imaginable genre, Bent Books is the place to go when looking for something specific. If on the off chance they don’t stock what you’re after, they’ll contact you if it makes its way through their doors.

2. Avid Reader

Bookstore

Avid Reader is an institution in the West End bookstore scene. Coupled with a sweet, little cafe, it is almost impossible not to be tempted to purchase a novel to read while enjoying coffee and a delicate cake in the courtyard retreat.

3. Archives Fine Books

Archives Fine Books is a goldmine of rare editions. Scope and scan throughout the shelves as you will be sure to discover and unveil collectable novels that are considered and deemed to be unattainable. This is a hub for those readers who love hidden treasures.
