"Thank you for creating a great bookstore. The most wonderful range of books - many titles you won’t find elsewhere. As someone who likens a visit to a good bookstore as one of life’s true pleasures, the word to describe the Avid Reader is “HEAVENLY”. As an added bonus, the shop is staffed by people who clearly love books as well as our world. I just spent one of the most enjoyable hours of 2023 in this magical place. This is what a truly great bookshop should be - like the Avid Reader in West End. I long to return. ❤️"

"This is without doubt the best second-hand bookshop in Brisbane. I can spend hours navigating the shelves. There is a great selection of books for everyone and prices are extremely good (I've always paid between $10 and $20 for magnifique and well-looked after titles)."

"A really nice bookstore with new titles for sale. Great kids book selection available too. Love the "blind date with a book" idea that they have on display at the front of the store. Store is well laid out with plenty of space to move around."

"This cute little bookshop in Melbourne operates till late with lots of unique selection of books on their bookshelves. The warm and inviting ambiance of the interior created a cozy and homely environment that was simply enchanting. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable and helpful, and I observed them assisting customers with specific interests."

"An amazing place to visit. Heaps of books literally stacked to the ceiling. One could never possibly walk away without a book. Friendly staff and offers recommendations on what to read 👌 the kids love it here."

"Lovely place in Melbourne.You can find a lot of books and feel a different environment.you can hear the creak of the old wooden stairs and this is an experience that it is something that has been lost over the years.It is a place to rest from the hectic life of Melbourne."

"I loved the atmosphere! Great range for children's books and classics. The two workers who were there when I visited were absolutely lovely and had a great passion for books."

"A wonderful independent bookshop in the heart of Townsville, with staff who are very happy to help with ordering, putting books aside, or providing suggestions for your next immersive read! Great selection of gifts and a small area for kids too."

"Five stars isn't enough for Stefen's Books.. This guy knows his stuff with all the genres of books he carries.. I went in looking for a particular book and walked out with three others.. I get the impression from him that hes read every book on the many shelves in his shop.. If you're looking for a Fantasy, or Horror, or a Science Fiction novel or even a Sherlock Holmes book (with a twist), don't go anywhere else. Come have a chat with Stefen... He's been around since Supa Nova in William Street in the 90s.."

"Books galore. Old and new, which is fantastic to see. Some great titles that you rarely come across in bigger (and even bespoke) stores. Something for every reader. The space is unique and feels very heritage. We didn't try the coffee but the store is good for a browse at the very least!"

"a quiet book store. helpful staff they had a few items I was interested in, some I could not afford but we're excellent condition for their age and worth it.manage to find a couple of books that managed to fit in my small budget."

"Really enjoyed this cute little bookstore. It stocks a wide range of LGBTQIA+ and popular titles.The staff member/owner at the store was also friendly and helpful without being overbearing. It's a must visit for any book lovers!"

"I cannot begin to tell you all how much I love Metropolis bookshop. The owner is super lovely and the staff is always friendly. Metropolis is not your typical bookshop. They have a lot of unique art, fashion, arcitecture and design books, books imported from Japan and more alternative books. Come here if you're looking for something unique!"

"I had a lovely time browsing the wide range of books here when I wanted a book to read on my visit to Sydney! I bought the book about growing up in Australia, and I received a lovely bookmark to remind me of my visit."

"There is NO BETTER bookshop in Sydney! Kimberly and Grant are amazing. They are kind, patient and interested in you as a person. Their customer service is beyond excellent, it’s personal. They know their customers and what genres people love.They really care about their customers and make time for them. They know their books and what to recommend (being big readers themselves).It’s like going home when you enter their store. Old worldly feeling when you step through the door: with old worldly customer care!I wouldn’t buy my books anywhere else.Love this bookstore. Please support independent book sellers. Particularly this one. You’ll just feel better for simply visiting the Best Little Bookshop in Town."
