(11 Sep 2026) Every bookworm knows that reading books and buying books are two separate hobbies.
Sometimes, all you want to do is curl up at home with a weighty tome in hand. Other times, nothing is more exciting than a day spent wandering the shelves of a well-stocked bookshop in search of your next great read.
Add in the smell of printed paper, the gentle rustle of pages and perhaps the aroma of freshly brewed coffee coming from the adjoining cafe? Well, that might just be heaven. If that sounds like your kind of weekend, these are the bookshops worth seeking out.
The New Daily selects 15 bookshops of interest in Australia here.
