The Paperback Bookshop

This bookshop is sooo good I can’t give any better compliment 😭 The price for me is fairly acceptable. They do keep the books and bookshelves clean and neatly. The keeper is also friendly. Definitely come back in the future!

This cute little bookshop in Melbourne operates till late with lots of unique selection of books on their bookshelves. The warm and inviting ambiance of the interior created a cozy and homely environment that was simply enchanting. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable and helpful, and I observed them assisting customers with specific interests.

I loved how quaint and warm the place is. I was looking to buy fiction and some astrophysics books. I'm pleased with my purchase and was glad to see a South Asian author in the collection! I'd love to revisit and bring my mother here when she visits.

Huge thanks to the lovely lady working here last night (Friday 23rd March) I appreciate your kind and thoughtful service, it definitely made my spontaneous gift purchase more memorable.

Visiting the Paperback Bookshop made my day today ! It was such a pleasure and the person who processed my sale was delightful.
This bookshop has stood the test of time and may it stand for years to come 💗

The best bookshop in town. Staff are so friendly and helpful with recommendations. Great selection. And you feel like you’re in a proper bookstore, not a commercial chain.

I love seeing people peeking and waiting for the shop to be opened while it was left by the keeper. That means the bookshop has a lot to offer and people really keen to come inside.

My guess is confirmed when I come and see the collection. Small shop but pack with a lovely collection of books.

I just chose and picked a current issue book that has been intrigued me since I visited China couple years ago.

An excellent range of books to choose from and postage is tossed in when you order over $75 which is super easy to do if you're a book lover. Otherwise it's only $4.50 or you can collect in store. However, I'm tipping if you go to the store it would be like a honey trap surrounded by all those magnificent books!!!

My order arrived today, loving wrapped in brown paper. It was the best feeling, seeing a package wrapped like that. It feels so nostalgic. One of my books was also flat signed by the author which added to the excitement. Granted I knew that there were some flat signed copies there, however they made sure I got one as requested. Definitely my new favourite bookshop ❤🐾

Some may say tight and thoughtless, but from any reader's perspective, it's cozy and comforted with a reasonable array of your most useful books within their respective fields.

Though objectively smaller than other stores, I found the 3 books I was searching for. And quite cheap compared to your options within the city, I tell ya!

Brilliant. Standard retails prices but the selection is great and it’s open extremely late so makes for a captivating sojourn. Good location and friendly woman at the counter

amazing atmosphere. great staff, amazing selection

This small but amazing shop is my favourite bookshop in Melbourne. The staff are always really knowledgeable and helpful too!

Great book selection, lovely little shop. Right next to great coffee shop as well!

My favourite book store I have to visit when coming to Melbourne, it's opened late and full of delightful books. Sure you could get the books online, but where else can you browse a quaint little store, feeling and smelling all the books. They have a unique selection of all sorts of books and friendly staff.

Cute small bookshop, lovely staff, esoteric good selection of books, been there for long time, keep going....

Lot of interesting books and titles that hard to find online.
Bought Noam Chomsky’s at a reasonable price

Great collection of books, friendly staff, and good music. I went during peak hours without realising it. The crowded room presented valued realisation of sharing the space with other book lovers 😌. Keep up the good work!

all new books, broad selection and some you don’t see in the other stores. a great little rabbit warren staffed by friendly faces. old school.

Cute little bookshop with lots of books cramped into their bookshelves. Very cosy and homely feeling when inside. The staff are very knowledgeable and I saw them being very helpful to people with niche interests. They also have a table with staff recommendations.
