Archives Fine Books

Can’t go wrong with Archives Fine books. Great quality of books, range, service and atmosphere. Truly the best rare find shop in Brisbane! The range really is wide, from your modern classics, translated books, cookbooks, to local authors, the stores’ got it all. Most of the time they’re in really great quality, and if not, they’ve always got some compromise for you. Great prices, the interior is charming, and service are friendly, knowledgeable and welcoming. Can’t resist coming here everytime I’m in the city or on the way home from uni. You never know what gem you’re going to find. Highly recommend the visit.

This is without doubt the best second-hand bookshop in Brisbane. I can spend hours navigating the shelves. There is a great selection of books for everyone and prices are extremely good (I've always paid between $10 and $20 for magnifique and well-looked after titles).

This place was a mainstay of my teenage and early 20s years. Then I moved 2 states away, but would always try and pop in when on holidays. Now I'm back, and I'm so glad I get to check it out first for finding books before I try elsewhere. They are absolutely lovely, and always really helpful, but it's totally cool if you just want to spend some time browsing for ages too.

Gorgeous old bookstore with a huge collection and a bunch of hidden gems

First time in this store and I fell in love, lots of old books to explore. The atmosphere was nice and cozy. Cheap price, easy to find anything you liked.

Beautiful second-hand bookstore. An essential visit for book lovers in Brisbane. Found some great books and they're fairly priced. Customer service is lovely, and their workshops look fascinating.

Finally decided to look inside - wow! I work in the city and walk past this all the time. Undoubtedly the most stunning bookshop I’ve ever been in. Very quaint, a great atmosphere to enjoy flicking through all kinds of books. Great range and fairly priced.
