Small but brilliantly curated second hand bookstore. One of Australia’s best in my opinion. It’s possible to find all sorts of books here, across many categories. It’s particularly good for non-fiction books. It’s like some great book collections are being moved on from the homes of Canberra, and Book Lore gets them. Check it out.

I rate this redoubtable repository of reading very highly indeed. One of the best collections of philosophy, literature and history. Browsing in Book Lore provides a most pleasurable afternoon's recreation. All bibliophiles in Canberra must visit, setting aside some time to peruse their prodigious (yet neatly ordered) assemblage of books.

Nice small bookstore, good range of books. I’ve heard it has a fast turnover so could be worth popping in regularly if you’re looking for something specific
