The Paperback Bookshop
Melbourne, VIC
Literary fiction, poetry, and philosophy
The Story
On Bourke Street, Paperback stays open until 11pm on Fridays and Saturdays — the kind of hours that suggest a different relationship with reading than most retailers manage. The stock leans literary: philosophy, poetry, fiction, with staff available for reading recommendations on request. Monthly author salons run online.
The Story
The Paperback Bookshop has been a fixture on Bourke Street since the 1960s. Despite its modest size, it punches well above its weight with an impeccable selection curated by knowledgeable booksellers.
