So many pop culture and literary gems in this little bookshop/gift shop. It's a great place to look for an interesting gift, especially for fans of Harry Potter, Doctor Who, and many other popular fictions. Lots of handmade gifts and plenty of books. A lovely atmosphere and you might even get to meet a shop kitty, if you're lucky!

Urchin Books is my go-to place when I am looking for used books. They carry a large selection of titles and also have a fun selection of specialty items. I am never disappointed when I walk in, even if I don't find what I was looking for. The staff and owner are great and somehow have a great knowledge of their stock.

A wonderful bookshop, full of heart and soul, and great addition to the cultural life of the Inner West. Lots of fabulous books, an eclectic mix of gifts, and what bookshop is complete without cats and kittens! The owner fosters cats from a local shelter for visitors to cuddle and adopt.

I left work early so I could get a friend a birthday present. I turned up at 4.30pm and they're already closed. Urchin has some great stuff but the service is so poor it consist of being on the phone the whole time, ignoring customer and then taking your money nothing more.

I don’t buy books anymore since pursuing that elusive minimalist lifestyle. But if I did, I would do here. They adore books, enjoy fostering a real sense of community and once the owner Rachel - gave me a poster with erotic art by Allen Jones.

My favourite second-hand bookstore in Sydney by far, with a wonderful collection of fiction and non-fiction - from classics to childrens - in excellent condition, a great atmosphere, and a delightful owner who's always happy to help or just

My 3-year-old boy had a treasure hunt in the shop and found a box of vintage dumpling dynasty marbles which belongs to the grandpa’s generation. You could never find it elsewhere nowadays. This has since become his favourite toy.

Fantastic book shop with knowledgeable and helpful staff. Lots of great books and quirky and cool pop culture stuff. Definitely worth checking out. Perfect place to look for gifts for fussy people who are hard to buy for too.

What a great and somewhat nostalgic book store. Also has a lot of collectors items. Great find! Good for fans of old stories and books, including Star Trek, Star Wars, Moomins, Godzilla, George Orwell, and much more!

Great little secondhand bookshop that's chockers with books of all kinds, with a particularly robust science fiction and fantasy section. Charming, knowledgeable staff and a friendly atmosphere. Highly recommend.

One of my favourite stores to frequently pop into. Not just books, but super fun, geeky little trinkets and artwork. The staff are lovely and there's a room where you can hang out with cats if that's your jam.

Amazing book store!!! Very wide variety of books. Very kind owner and once you finish reading your book you can bring it back and sell it for half the price which you bought it. Keep it up, Urchin Books!!!

Amazing little indie bookstore, with more than just books, right in central Marrickville. Support it if you can, because this is what gives the local area so much character and beauty.

Sometimes they will have kittens present that they foster on site. Always present are plenty of books and curios that will satisfy your curiosity. Lots of comic books and plenty more!

Best book shop in the INNERWEST. Friendly staff and even a reading room if you would like to read your choice of book before buying it. Some great memorabilia and gifts. …

Lovely bookshop. I could browse for hours. I was looking for a hard to get book, had rung everywhere. She had a beautiful hardback first edition at a great price.

As a book lover.... this place is my go to to find secondhand books. Be it that obscure copy of Anne Rice or another edition of a classic. Great bookstore!

Small homely bookstore that has heaps of options for small gifts. Not sure if they still do book swapping but the people are super lovely here!

A real treasure trove. What a find this place is. A great store, with a wonderful array of books and gifts. And the owner is just so friendly

Great that places like this still exist. It has the second hand bookshop smell and there's a cat that sleeps in the front window.

I love that this shop is local to me, it's like stepping back in time! Alot to look at and struggle over buying everything lol
