Ree's Book Shop

My favourite bookshop in Cairns. Old style, crowded shelves, lots of excellent titles, many genres, jigsaw puzzles, and much more. They also stock books by local authors which is something you won't find in the mainstream bookshops. Well worth a visit and a great place to spend time looking for a good read. Highly recommended.

Huge range of 2nd hand books. Categorised and good condition. Very helpful staff and reading stools and nooks available

Bought a second hand Liane Moriarty book for $11. Found out later you can buy all her books new for $14.99 at most book stores. It would have been an average saving from Sue's except most pages were really, really dirty. I bought the new copy so I could enjoy reading it without yellow spots anymore and will donate the Sue's copy to someone in real need. Also purchased a jigsaw puzzle 1000 pieces. I asked if she knew if all the pieces were there and she said she had never had a complaint before. So this is first complaint. Missing 4 pieces. It only cost $6 but I just bought a brand new one today, just as beautiful for $7 from Cairns Central. Message is sometimes, especially in Cairns, second hand is second rate and over priced.

My partner and I Absolutely love going here there is a massive range of books to choose from! The lady who works here is so friendly and welcoming.

We love Ree's bookshop. Could spend many hours looking through the shelves and have never left empty handed! We love the cozy feel of the shop and the books piled horizontally for easy title reading.

Oh my God!!! That was one of the best experience in Cairns! We went to closing up shop,asked the lady if she had Heidi book for our daughter Iris for book day at school tomorrow! The lady was so kind she found it and guess what? We forgot our wallets! We only had some change in the car,the lady said $6 dollars and that’s exactly how much we had! I recommend to everyone,that’s amazing place!

Always plenty of books to peruse could stay all day. Lovely lady who served me.

Nice cozy book shop with a big variety of literature. I probably spent about an hour there just enjoying the browsing through the books.

An incredible range of books you might not find anywhere else. There are books on every subject, and the calm atmosphere makes you want to dig the right books for hours. The lady who owns the place will happily help you out with whatever it is your are looking for.

I’m obsessed with this cute second hand book store, There are plenty of good books for you. The lady there was very nice and helpful. Thank you so much, I will be back.
