dymocks on george have a cafeteria upstairs... though i'm not sure if you can just 'grab a book off the shelf' and do a little reading

Dont forget Central station book shop (near the busking tunnel). Sometimes they have really good bargains

does anyone else go to 2nd hand bookshops like Elizabeth's, and all the ones in newtown?

They're more of an escape i reckon, free from the commercialisation of dymocks and a&r, plus the range is more varied and it's usually cheaper

There used to be this really great second hand bookstore in Bondi Junction, but they closed it down. It was a shame, really, it was packed with classics.

plenty of good 2ndhands in newtown, including an Elizabeth's
for sheer size go to Goulds

Has anyone been to borders in Bondi Junction? It's so neat and well-organised lol, not what I'm used to in a bookshop, it even has harbour views for crying out loud! but then again the range was pretty good tho

 

[something_funny]

Black Rose?

I know I was a bit slow in findng this thread but does anyone know what happened to the Black Rose(I think that's what its called) bookshop? It was sort of in between Redfern and Central.

Ok, I must add this:

Less10.com has free shipping to Australia, has no GST, and is usually very cheap. I can recommend them.

I would definitely stay away from emporiumbooks.com.au, however. I've had huge problems with them, as have a few other people I know at uni.

Mental Note.

A second-hand bookstore at the spot in Randwick. It's so great because it has no shelves.

 

[hipsta_jess]

If you don't want to buy a book that noone has read before, try checking out your local op-shop. The books are usually still in good condition, and they're cheap cheap cheap (haha, spot the uni student )

I just use amazon.com for books $30 and over... even with the shipping, it generally works out to be cheaper than buying locally.

I've gotten A$100 books off amazon.com for A$50.
