Located on Brunswick St, Fitzroy and one of my favourite 2nd hand bookstores.
I like them because
a) they're the only bookstore I know open LATE most nights. (Dangerous to my credit card if I've met friends for a coffee or wine after work then decide to go browsing...)
b) Interesting selection for the genres and authors I like.
c) Staff often able to suggest that missing author name or title.
d) They list their main finds on abebooks too. Once I found they'd listed a book that I'd been searching for 2years+, so was able to call them and they held it for next week pickup.
e) close to coffee!
f) they write their 2ndhand price in pencil inside the book cover. I dislike stores which sticker or use biro for pricing.
My only nitpick is that they know their books, so it's hard to find a real bargain as they know the market price for each book and it's edition.
