The Story
The kind of bookshop that stays open until 11pm on a Friday, which tells you most of what you need to know. Staff offer personalised reading recommendations on request, and monthly salon events — recent guests include memoirist Erin Vincent — give the place a literary-society feeling without the stuffiness. The stock leans literary: fiction, philosophy, poetry, Australian non-fiction.
