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.

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.
