There's a gorgeous Collins at the Broadway Shopping Centre, just a short walk from UTS or Sydney uni...I've had to stop going there cos I'm always tempted to buy pretty books I really can't afford.

Abbeys (across the road from QVB) has a brilliant classics section, I can spend ages in there just looking at all the books I want to read...

Ugh, Dymocks wollongong is terrible, you can't find anything in there... and its so small and squished....
mmm classics.

Second hand book stores.. havent walked into a normal book store in ages.

Kinokuniya and Borders are huge! Borders at Macquarie Centre is pretty big! i got some books from there and they were pretty heavy too so had to carry a heavy load home!

Books Kinokuniya is the best! I love it! The only problem with Books Kinokuniya is that there's always shitloads of people sitting around the English manga section. I can't ever choose one (I normally buy one English manga, and two to three Japanese nanga), I need to tread carefully around the people.

Other than Books Kinokuniya, whichever bookshop I go to doesn't bother me. None of the others give me a 10% discount. Mind you, they're normally 10% cheaper than Books Kinokuniya anyway.

The Dymocks (and Collins) around my area are small and hopeless. All my problems were solved when Borders opened at Macquarie. It's the next best thing to the city stores.

Um... Dymocks has very good titles and variety although I dun buy books much... Just leech of the English department

 

[Loz#1]

Dymocks in George St absolutely rocks, as does Angus and Robertson in Pitt St Mall. For second hand books, Newtown is the best especially Elizabeth's.

I've heard some bad stuff about Koorong, like sticking books about denominations they dislike in the "cults" section. Not going to say which ones because if people aren't offended they'll probably offend.
