This bookshop is an absolute treasure trove. Every corner is filled to the brim with books — it’s delightfully overflowing, and you could spend hours browsing through all the hidden gems. The owner, Evon, is a lovely lady who clearly has a real passion for books. She’s incredibly welcoming and always up for a good chat, which makes the whole experience feel warm and personal rather than just a quick shop. The prices are very generous, especially considering the quality and variety on offer. Whether you’re hunting for something specific or just love the thrill of discovering unexpected finds, this place delivers. If I’m ever back in Cairns, I’ll definitely be returning.
So many books to choose from! I realised I had six in my arms and looking for so many more but needed to get on a plane back to Brisbane! I’ll be coming back as I’ll be visiting regularly. The owner was very knowledgeable and friendly! So hard to find a good second hand bookstore these days. Highly recommend!
An absolute hidden gem in Cairns! This second-hand bookshop has a huge variety of books — you could easily spend hours browsing. The lovely lady who runs it is so welcoming and helpful. Highly recommend for any book lover!
Great store with multitude of authors - lovely owner so helpful - found these two for me amongst thousands - no computer
