  • Saxon Evans

This shop is a brilliant find! I stumbled upon this bookstore recently and never being one to pass up an opportunity to browse, I went in to see if anything caught my eye and found a vast amount of very well kept second hand books. With a broad range, fair price and helpful staff, this is definitely a place worth checking out.

  • Enchante

Great little book shop. It has a wide selection of older and newer books which is always good to see. The prices are reasonable around $7-10 While for some this might not seem cheap for second hand, remember these book stores don't make much money to stay afloat even at these prices. Support small local businesses!

  • Raphael Kabo

Had such a lovely time at this bookshop! Stacked full of really great books for all tastes and pockets, including a pretty decent poetry selection and a really comprehensive assortment of Australian literature and Australiana. And the lady who helped us was very friendly. A perfect morning.

  • Tom Doig

This is a gem of a bookstore. Great selection of books, carefully curated by someone who knows what they're doing. Most books look new or only lightly read. Lots of good Australian content. If Already Read was a rock album, it'd be describe as "all killer, no filler!"

  • sandali wijekoon

I love this place. It’s where I go to treat myself. Great prices for a great selection of books. Make a day of it, get some books, a coffee from next door and then walk down to Edinburgh gardens for a stroll. Buy second hand! Save your wallet and the planet ❤️

  • The BookWarren

An absolute treasure to behold! Haven’t been in for way too long maybe 9mths or 12 even but Val is a wonder and has an impeccable selection and quality.. 2nd to NONE!!! In fact I think I’ll pop in tmrw and but another 10–12 …

  • Benjamin Dajkovich

Already Read is not the largest second-hand bookstore in Melbourne. Already Read does have the largest collection of quality second-hand books in Melbourne. One may struggle to find a better collection of good writing anywhere. Highly recommended.

  • MJ Rose

Stumbled past this place whilst exploring Melbourne. What luck! Was directed to a book I had been long searching for and bought another two. Comprehensive catalogue. They who were working there were beautiful people. Just a shame I live in Sydney.

  • Amanda Holten

Super bookshop with plenty of stock. The woman was very knowledgeable about different authors and new and old releases, reasonable prices. Had exactly what l was looking for re title and author. Very happy with my experience will return for sure!

  • Alana Morgante

An incredible selection of used books, including many recent releases. The store has a very cosy atmosphere, there was charming classical music playing while I browsed. It’s a joy to spend time in this store, I will be returning regularly!

  • Monique Linton-Jude

This bookstore is fabulous, has never failed to have the book I’m looking for, even when I was recently looking for an unusual philosophy book! Thanks so much for being such a great supplier of second hand books :)

  • Charlotte Fish

What a find! This inviting store has a well-curated selection of second-hand books in great condition, and the bookseller was very friendly and helpful. Think I might become a regular. Thank you, Ros!

  • Louise Coyle

This is my favourite second hand book shop ever. It is perfectly organized and curated, and I find what I am looking for 99% of the time. The books are very reasonably priced and in great condition.

  • Sonya Goldberg

My favourite second hand book store! Has high quality literature - most things you would want to read. And if they don’t have it, they might get it in! Run by lovely people

  • Maeve M R

Such a beautifully arranged store with books that look practically new, although have that lovely used feel to them. I walked out with a big stack and will be back often!

  • Kirstan McCartney

Such a cosy bookshop! The selection was really big too and prices were so reasonable. Will definitely come back again (once I have read the mountain of books I bought)

  • daniel Dedic

Disgusting service from the old guy in the shop. Old fella was rude and has no respect for customers. Would give it 0 stars but there’s no option.

  • Ryan Kotthoff

A beautiful little store, so well curated and such a vast selection. They even have a section for books dedicated to certain countries. I love it.

  • Richard Mailhot

Pretty good selection of used books. Reasonably priced and comes with a man at the cash register booming with literature knowledge.

  • Ryan Manuel

Possibly the best collection of contemporary fiction I’ve ever seen in a second hand book shop. Plus book loving owners. So good.
