Elizabeth's Bookshop is a beloved second-hand bookstore located in Newtown, offering a vast and carefully curated collection of new and old books. With piles of books covering every surface, it creates a cozy, homey atmosphere perfect for book lovers. We pride ourselves on reasonable prices, friendly staff, and unique features like the 'Date with a Book' corner. Open late for your convenience, it's a must-visit destination for anyone seeking literary treasures and a welcoming community vibe.
The best book store in town for new & old books! There are piles and piles of books stuffing all book shelfs and covering all vertical surfaces! (Except for the ceilings. But I bet she has enough to cover them, it's just the gravity) Elizabeth's place is cosy and homey. Also well ventilated, which is a great plus for a book store full of old books. It's a fascinating place with quotes here and there that give you a nudge to read. Swing by and explore what Elizabeth has to offer. You may be surprised by all the good fun you can have here! 😁
Saw this cute second hand bookshop and went in. They have books sorted neatly based on genre and in alphabetical order. A good decent selection of books. Nice to spend some time here.
I was delighted to stumble upon this bookshop, still open even after 5! When I entered the shop, I wasn’t mentally prepared because there were tons of books to choose from. Definitely, not a place to visit for a short time. The price is reasonable for second-hand books. I love the “Date with a Book” corner, definitely will buy one in my next visit. The staff is really friendly ❤️ One of the best place to visit during my stay in Sydney ❤️
I was walking down Kings Street the other night and was delighted to see a book shop open. It was Elizabeth's. What a great time to be open. And nicely unconventional for Australia. More like Athens or Asia to have shops open at night. I walked in, and in just one section chose The Andy Warhol diaries, Silas Marner and an Irvine Welsh novel. I went back the following week with my camera. This is a huge but cosy second hand bookshop with an amazing stock. Like the other reviews say, you need lots of time. The books also are very fairly priced. The staff were smiley and friendly, and the customers earthy and interesting. None of this like, eyes fixed on a computer screen, while we type an essay, to see if the book you want is in print kind of thing here! Face to face customer assistance by staff who obviously read and enjoy books.
You need to spend a good hour or two here if you visit! Such an amazing selection of books... one of the best I've seen in a long time. Great prices too and books are well organised into categories. I want to come back when I have more time available to really rummage.
