Brunswick Secondhand Books

A friend and I walked past and saw the sign so we went in. The interior is so beautiful, there are books absolutely everywhere, despite this, the place didn't seem cluttered at all, but peacefully clean. the owner was so nice and very kind, and the prices were very reasonable - I got a poetry book for $10!!! I would definitely recommend this shop.

Friendly folks run this bookshop and it feels like an old neighbourhood library.Wandering through the rooms is a lovely multisensory experience, with the scent of well-preserved books blending seamlessly with some sort of scent in the air (from essential oils maybe or something) with lighting coming in from the windows facing the street.Pay attention too to the books in stock. While they obviously don't compare to a chain store like a Dymocks in terms of quantity, the wide range makes the sum of their titles greater than the individual parts.Pardon this rather effusive and impressionistic review; Brunswick Secondhand Books is an inspiring place to visit.

Amazing place, very well curated. I always find books I have been looking for every there.

Cutest bookstore I have been to. It’s got a great ambiance and the books are stacked neatly. They have a large selections and d books as well.

My partner and I have been coming here every weekend for quite a while now and we have yet to leave empty handed. We've even had to purchase multiple book shelves to accommodate our second hand book addiction.There is an excellent range of books on a broad range of topics, though I'm partial to the fiction section and am very much enjoying this year's addition of a sci-fi and fantasy section (and thank you Jo for the excellent recommendation The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K. Le Guin).

Love it, as someone who loves once worked in a second hand bookshop it feels like coming home. Even the smell of incense makes you want to linger among the books. Nick pays good prices for good books too, you’re in safe hands here

Such a beautiful bookstore, with a wide range of gems. My partner and I have been coming here every weekend for a long time (sometimes even more than once), and even so it’s a rare day that we visit and leave empty handed. Massive range of books, and I’m particularly pleased by the overflowing psychology and poetry sections. Both Jo and Nick are always up for a chat and give good advice :)I hadn’t read regularly for many years before finding this store, and now every week I find something new, or more often 4+ new books. It’s a constant struggle at home to choose from the ever growing quantity of fantastic books I’ve bought here, and have found that the poetry and philosophy books in particular have made my life significantly better. Love the owners, love the location, and I now have a crippling secondhand book addiction that can only be managed with weekly trips here!

This is perhaps the best book store of its kind in Melbourne. Staff are welcoming and highly informative. The selection of books on display here are expertly curated. As for the space, it is relaxed, comfortable and the incense is a nice touch. You feel right at home. I would highly recommend a visit (or two).

Inspiring and breathtaking store. Amazing range and service. Spent a long time exploring all the areas...self development, health and spirituality. Thank you!

A gem of a store. It has a great collection of books across all genres. You are definitely going to find ranging from the old classics to standard new ones. Their price is also quite reasonable. Even if you compare it with other second hand book stores I have always found it $5-10 less in this store. On top of the cherry, it has such a nice ambience.It is on first floor. A bit tricky to find with no huge boards displayed so keep on walking along the street and it's right at the corner. Going to come back often to this place for my book collection.
