Very welcoming shop with a great variety of goods over and above books.

Exceptional service making a purchase by phone. Lyn could not have been more helpful! Thank you 😊

Friendly , latest releases knitting wool and craft supplies what else could you want

Lovely little shop, friendly staff!

a great place to shop for that holiday read.

Small but diverse collection of books. They also have a very cute collection of stickers, patches and enamel pins :)
Today there were two little doggies who were minding the store while the staff stepped out for bit. The lady at the counter was very friendly. A lovely change from the usual ‘touristy’ stores.

Unique finds. Supports local writers. Not dressed up like an antique London store or hip caffe. Honest, diverse, quality reads and a great location. Prices were fair too. Grab a unique book and go somewhere worthy of your quality time.

If the weather is no good for sightseeing then this is the place to stop by and grab yourself some great reading material.

Makes a nice change from all the food outlets on the main street of Apollo bay

If there was an option of zero star, I will definitely go for it. The old woman was the rudest person that I have seen. I don’t know if you have your own child. The way you approached to and acted with my child today was absolutely disgusting. He was just reading a few pages before deciding whether he wants to buy it or not. Isn’t that an advantage compared to online book shopping? Unfortunately you grabbed the book straight away from his hand. I didn’t argue with you on-site because I didn’t want to become a person like you in front of my child.

Really disappointing. Not only was the selection not very good, but the woman working seemed as though she wanted no happy customers that day, yelling most customers out of the store with complaints such as
"young kid flicking through a book to see if he liked it" and "woman taking photo of book cover so she can remember it when she returns". She complained to both these people quite aggressively. As well as many others. I don't know if this is a regular thing, but it was an extremely bad experience and I left the store much earlier than I normally would from a bookstore.

rude store women push us to buy book which my kids just read few minutes. not recommend
