Heading to Melbourne on Thursday, does anyone know of any good used book stores? I believe the one in Warrandyte is still operating? And I know the one in the city in the basement (which is huge but didnt have anything I was looking for :S)
I’m staying in the Bundoora area but will have a car so travel isn’t an issue.
There’s a really good one in Thornbury, on the 86 tramline. The 86 tramline goes out to Bundoora so you can maybe avoid all the parking hassles by getting on the tram. Name is Fully Booked and is at 824 High St Thornbury. Broad selection of interesting bookies on a variety of topics including some real weirdies. Don’t bother with Perimeter Books down the street a little - not a good selection the last time I went in. Already Read at 98 Scotchmer St North Fitzroy is OK if you’re looking for fairly mainstream books with a few eclectic selections. It’s small but choice, and it’s just around the corner from Piedmonte’s supermarket (worth a visit too as it’s unique). The real gem is Kay Craddock in Collins Street - exxy but an INCREDIBLE selection of books on every possible topic.

Thanks.
It’s probably a bit out of the way but For Pete’s Sake in Queenscliff is my fave. Absolute chaos in there:
Oh that’s straight up L-space
Looks like Bernard and Manny would be in there somewhere, too
That’s definitely up there on the Clutter Image Rating Scale though at least there’s a clear passage lol.
Brunswick Secondhand Books is one I like to go to :)

Thanks. I will try to make it out to Fully Booked at the very least.
