The Paperback Bookshop

The Paperback Bookshop is an independent, well-stocked bookshop that has been at the top end of Bourke Street since the 1960s.

In stock you'll find the latest new releases and classic titles of fiction, history, poetry, kids’ books, cultural affairs and travel.

The Paperback has broadened its charter over the years to now sell hardbacks too, but it still specialises in having a good selection of local and overseas books of interest for a broad but discerning audience.
