As soon as you walk in you you know you’re in a good book store. Apart from wall to wall books it smells like a book store. Lots to choose from and all excellent prices. I really like the cabinet of rare books too.

Absolute gem of a store. My father in law loves to stop by here whenever he visits. Wonderful knowledgeable staff with an exceptional range of books. Found a long lost book I had when I was in high school and it was very reasonably priced, I highly recommend coming here whenever you’re in town. The amount of people waiting outside for the doors to open this morning was really wonderful to see!

The place is amazing! But the service felt confusing. The staff member was sitting at a table that did not seem to be the customer service desk. I went up to her to ask the price of a book, she told me, and I said I would take it. She then directed me to the customer service counter. While I was walking there, a family passed in front of me and she helped them first. She was very warm and friendly with the family, but with me she kept the interaction very basic. I did not understand why.

Called into Archive Fine Books with the guys from my bookclub. Been curious about this bookshop for years so nice to finally check it out. Archive Fine Books rocks a 'Book Depository' vibe, long aisles of plain timber shelving stacked high with books. Very large, a little gloomy, but definitely interesting and unique. An eclectic range of subjects, bit of an Aladdin's Cave really, books are grouped but this is more a browse style book shop. We all stumbled upon interesting titles, volumes or memories.

I found this shop while I was taking a walk in the city. It's like a treasure house. Inside the shop is a magical space, romantic and comfortable. It was a pleasant surprise for me to come to.
