Elizabeth's Bookshops

A secondhand and antiquarian bookshop in Fremantle, founded in 1973 by Elizabeth, who still gives the business her name, and now one of Australia's largest independent second-hand dealers. The Queen Victoria Street warehouse holds part of a stock of more than 400,000 books, with a second shop on South Terrace. Some is sourced locally from people bringing their books in, the rest scoured from antiquarian shops across Britain and warehouses in the United States, running deep in Australiana, military history, art and the obscure. The South Terrace store is home to the original Blind Date with a Book.
