Looks like it could have been a cool place to find books, it’s a shame that the service was awful, a guy literally told me: “get out of the room” that was open and not even marked as “Staff Only”. There are way to say things and treat costumers with respect. Extremely rude, very disrespectful and disappointing.

By far the best and friendliest service I got in an Antiquarian bookshop, both Southern and Northern hemisphere. Great combination of beautiful rare books, old photography (temporary exhibition) and old music (dito). I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Adelaide! Hope to be returning again.

  • Josh Lefevre

Take your business elsewhere. Went to find some unique books and instead got told to “Get Out” because I walked through an open door. Terrible customer service, 0 help, knows nothing about the books he claims to be an ‘expert’ in. Honestly I would sadly rather go to Target then get a book from here…

  • Greg Smith

Wonderful service. I found the book I wanted via an online search, rang David at MTAB to confirm the condition of the book, purcahsed it & 4 days later it arrived in Perth via AusPost Express. Very well packaged too, so the whole experience has left me most impressed. Thank you David & MTAB. …

Michael Treloar is definitly the rudest book seller I have ever met in 40 years of collecting. His prices are a disgrace. He takes away the passion and love of book selling/collecting. I would not recommend visiting this book shop at all costs, he is the most arrogant seller I have ever met.

  • Thomas Bennett

Very arrogant and rude 'little man'. Don't waste your time by calling this guy. He's ultra busy and therefore ultra unhelpful with his 12hour days so I have past my business over to someone else. If there was a zero star rating, then I would give him this.

  • Jonathan Olijnyk

Great selection of rare and hard to find books. Love browsing and have found a few gems, including a treasured early-ish copy of Johnson's Dictionary which gives me frequent entertainment (yes it's a dictionary but give it a go!). It's a

  • Gina P

Went to see the "Experts" to get his opinion on the prices he would pay to buy them. He said that none of them were worth anything I ng and when I corrected him on what certain genres of books are worth, he said "obviously you know more

  • Kate

I cannot recommend this bookstore highly enough. They have an astonishing range and, even more astonishing, reasonable prices. The staff there are outstanding, polite, knowledgeable and an absolute pleasure to deal with. Not only will I

  • J Cook

Absolutely over the moon with my purchase. From purchase to receipt the process was seamless, communication from postal carrier spot on. Delivery took 3 weeks from South Australia to the UK which I think was fair. Thanks again

  • chirag patel

It looks great place to find the books, but apart from that, they have the worst customer service I ever got in whole South Australia. I prefer not to go there, please pay a bit more and buy it new books from somewhere else.

  • Thomas Hollitt

An amazing array of bound books, very large selection and spanning from Australian history through to the history of cooking in ancient times. Recommend a trip here, seeing these in person feels like stepping back in time.

  • Stewart Maiden

This shop found a rare first edition of a book I had been in the market for for ages. The book was immaculately packaged and was dispatched swiftly. Customer service was excellent.

  • Ritchie Henderson

Had a look in there, I'm a history teacher and was looking at specific texts. found that this little guy...in there thinks he knows a lot yet he knows little about anything!

  • Jeanette Carol

  • H. Mosa

I love coming to the place, the aroma of old books as you walk in is just enough.

Some good military aviation titles to be found here. Convenient location in city.
