Michael Treloar Antiquarian Booksellers

An amazing array of bound books, very large selection and spanning from Australian history through to the history of cooking in ancient times. Recommend a trip here, seeing these in person feels like stepping back in time.

I love coming to the place, the aroma of old books as you walk in is just enough.The hidden and rare finds you come across are exciting

Absolutely over the moon with my purchase. From purchase to receipt the process was seamless, communication from postal carrier spot on. Delivery took 3 weeks from South Australia to the UK which I think was fair.Thanks again

I cannot recommend this bookstore highly enough. They have an astonishing range and, even more astonishing, reasonable prices. The staff there are outstanding, polite, knowledgeable and an absolute pleasure to deal with. Not only will I continue to deal with them I strongly recommend you do too, even if they don't have what you're after, they may be able to point you in the right direction or show you something even better that you didn't know existed. Big shoutout to Tom, fantastic bloke!

By far the best and friendliest service I got in an Antiquarian bookshop, both Southern and Northern hemisphere. Great combination of beautiful rare books, old photography (temporary exhibition) and old music (dito). I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Adelaide! Hope to be returning again.

Efficient service, online purchase was made easy. Ďelivery was expeditious, including well packaged goods which arrived as per the online description.

This shop found a rare first edition of a book I had been in the market for for ages. The book was immaculately packaged and was dispatched swiftly. Customer service was excellent.

Great selection of rare and hard to find books. Love browsing and have found a few gems, including a treasured early-ish copy of Johnson's Dictionary which gives me frequent entertainment (yes it's a dictionary but give it a go!). It's a great escape from the city. The prices are fair market prices for quality, rare books. It's not a thrift shop type place where you will have to wade through boxes of airport novels to find something that may interest you, it's all categorised (or at least in the process of being), and yes there are cheaper used bookstores out there. For bargains keep an eye out for their regular off site book sales, some fantastic stock sold at these also. I have found the staff friendly, helpful and good humoured.

Michael Treloar is definitly the rudest book seller I have ever met in 40 years of collecting. His prices are a disgrace. He takes away the passion and love of book selling/collecting. I would not recommend visiting this book shop at all costs, he is the most arrogant seller I have ever met.
