Kay Craddock – Antiquarian Bookseller

Kay Craddock – Antiquarian Bookseller carries a large and varied range of antiquarian and second-hand books, dating from the 15th to the 21st centuries.

The bookshop has an informal salon style and an open-door policy – browsers are always welcome and staff are happy to provide personal service.

Established in 1965 in Essendon, the store has been located in the neo-gothic Assembly Hall on Collins Street since 1990. The store was a recipient of a Lord Mayor's Commendation in 2017 for significant contribution to the city over three generations.

Surrounded by literary neighbours Reader's Feast Bookstore and the Melbourne Athenaeum Library, Kay Craddock is part of Melbourne’s literary heart, offering something old, new and borrowed in books.
