Paperbark Merchants

This is by far the best bookshop I've been to in Australia. Such a wide selection of books you can't usually find in store and a huge variety of different editions! I went in just to have a look but couldn't leave without purchasing something, especially after realising its independently owned.

When we entered the shop, I was literally amazed. The warm welcoming of the staff were amazing! So kind. We may not have found everything needed. However, its amazing. 🥲

Fantastic store, huge variety of books and they promote local authors too. More than just a book store they sell cards, gifts, magazines, board games, stationery, school books and a awesome vinyl records section including record players.
Served by friendly, knowledgeable staff.
One of my favourite shops in Albany
I highly recommend this to anyone.

Have always loved this Albany bookshop on York St. A great range of books and magazines and now vinyls!

A newsagent/bookstore. A must stop every time I'm in town.

Very helpful staff ,great place to look around and buy tickets for show in Albany

Great place. Lots of nice things along side books. Friendly staff and a clean shop.

Really nice. It has many books and supply options and your able to order books aswell. If your a manga reader your best to come here as it's one of the only places you can get manga from. Really great. Almost all my books come from here
Definitely recommend for book lovers

Paperbark is a lovely independent books shop with a range of other items including nice stationery, records and dvds.
This book shop has a wonderful range of books for all interests. The also have a good collection of fan items especially for the potter heads and whovians. The books are often cheaper than other places and are well picked. They will order in new books for you.
This shop is very supportive of local writers having a large collection of locally written books and helping with book launches. They often have writers in talking and signing books.

Excellent little shop in Albany - so many things to look at - definitely check it out if you are in town - Albany can be a little devoid of good shopping but this is an absolute exception.

Fantastic place if you're a booklover like I am! Also have an interesting range of gifts and other assorted things, such as beeswax wraps and Blue Q socks!

My favourite shop in Albany, would highly recommend! They’ve got some lovely hats in the back too :)

I live in Sweden and I recently asked Paperbark if they could deliver a card and a gift voucher to my mother in Albany. Lockie picked out the perfect card for me, had it filled out with beautiful handwriting and hand delivered it to my mother. Service doesn't get any better than that! Thank you, Paperbark!

Paperbark used to be Angus and Robertson Albany. When A&R went under a while ago the owners stepped up to the plate and went independent. They have done an outstanding job, starting with their branding, but extending though to their product range of books, toys, stationery and magazines. They do a great job. Now that it has become so easy to order books online you might wonder how bricks and mortar bookshops survive. Paperbark will answer that question for you; it is well worth a visit.

Great books and great things for presents and great and very friendly staff

A fantastic shop with lots of good books and lots of other gifts and games etc. Well worth a look

Passionate and genuinely friendly staff. Great selection. And open late!

Great eclectic selection of all things reading and more

A small nice place to look for various kinds of books and literatures in Albany, WA. The employees were very nice and friendly.

Great choice of books and very friendly staff. Could easily spend a fortune here.

I don't think i ever leave this place empty handed, my family and i love Paperbark! The service is always great also.
