AB Books & Records

A lovely little classic bric-a-brac style shop, selling a great collection of well-curated books and vinyl records with a varied selection of other curios mixed in. Notably there is some space dedicated to a selection of vintage photography equipment as that is a passion of one of the owners.

I dropped in here on a whim as something about the place caught my eye driving past and had a wonderful time looking through everything and chatting for ages with one of the owners. I won't publish her name in case she does not want that but she was incredibly friendly, welcoming & knowledgeable, and we had a wonderful conversation.

The main takeaway I had from our conversation was that this is not just a junk store or thoughtless op-shop operation - they are curating items to sell because they have a love for them and want to share that love with others.

I highly recommend dropping in for a visit and checking out their wares!

A treasure trove for classic book browsing , old cameras, records and trinklets. Walked in by chance and spent almost an hour sharing notes and history with the wonderful owners. Bought books as Christmas gifts, and the experience just made my day.
Superb service; I will certainly visit the store again.

One of the few remaining op shops left. So eclectic, you could spend hours there and still find something fascinating at every turn. Loved it!

I love this place :) Used to come here more often when I lived in the area but nice to know it hasn’t changed over the years. Great that these treasure troves still exist where you can find something unique with history. Friendly and knowledgeable owners, thoughtfully curated records, books, old cameras, trinkets and sea shells!

Great store, spent an hour in their browsing through all the books, nicknaks and records. So many hidden gems no longer in print. Run by an very knowledgeable, friendly and courteous lady. My friends and I will be back. 2 hour parking out the front more than adequate for browsing!

Decent books and records along with other knick-knacks.

Great place for books with an older woman running it who knows her stuff... this is almost a cliche for second hand bookshops.
I walked out with 3 gems for under $20. If you like a good browse in an older style bookshop this is the place.
Please note she is not open in the early afternoon for personal reasons so check the opening times.
If I was more financial I would have spent another $60 on a gem of a book.

A lovely bookshop with an even lovelier owner. She was easy to talk to, knowledgeable, and helpful. The bookstore itself has a wide range of books at reasonable prices. I'd recommend taking the time to go.

The most friendly shop owners in Australia and always have new and exciting items from all time periods

My spiritual home. A quiet, well stocked, well priced bookshop with great condition books and records. Could spend a whole afternoon (and a lot of my wages) happily browsing in peace here

I bought 2 of books today n I like to the book shop smells. If anyone wants to find gods gift, you must visit to this shop!

Great vinyl selection friendly owners always like going there.

Managed by an incredibly polite and knowledgeable owner, a great range of books and vinyl records to be found.

Great price and friendly staff. I had a lot of fun looking for hidden gems.

This is my favorite bookstore in Sydney, lots of old and obscure books. I have spent hours in there.

Found the book I was looking for! Atmospheric place, typical second hand bookshop, books and records piled everywhere.

Great little shop, with a very friendly & knowledgeable owner, thankyou!

Lovely little nook
