    We spent an hour here and could have happily stayed longer. Lots of great buys and the woman at the desk was lots of fun to chat to.
  • Avatar Angi Ferguson (princess spekkidee) ★★★★★ 3 months ago
    Was looking for children's books with bible messages and these were great, this time I found 6 books and a great dictionary at excellent prices and very good-almost new quality. Highly recommend and we will definitely be back. Last … More time I went I told them "I'd be back" and I was. Well worth the visit and the buy. Thankyou to all the friendly and helpful staff.
  • Avatar Musketeer DRIVER ★★★★★ 9 months ago

  • Avatar linda Lehmann ★★★★★ a year ago
    I must say it was a pleasant surprise finding this bookshop. All books are clean, organised, and catalogued. I was able to find a book that I have been searching for a long time. The lady searched on her computer and was able to easily … More find the book.
  • Avatar Katie McNeill ★★★★★ 12 months ago
    I had a fantastic time visiting By The Book Bookstore. A friend of mine had discovered this gem and has been dying to take me, and now I see why.
    The ladies who run the shop are really lovely and helpful, all the while leave you free to
    … More browse at your leisure.
    They have a huge array of options to choose from, their older books as especially beautiful.
    I can't wait to make a list & start regularly visiting.
  • Avatar Rhona Hammond ★★★★★ a year ago

  • Avatar Zoë Amber Preston ★★★★★ a year ago
    A huge thank you to Jac for sending me a copy of a book I was struggling to find everywhere! The book arrived quickly and in great condition. Very happy with how everything went. Will have to visit the store in person one day, as the staff … More are just lovely.
  • Avatar Ted Roberts ★★★★☆ a year ago
    While I agree that it is a great shop with a fantastic range of books.
    There is a big but! the prices charged for second hand is a little steep. Yes they maybe in good condition just still cant see how they can justify this price. No having
    … More a go just my thoughts.
  • Avatar Skye Rimm ★★★★★ a year ago

  • Avatar Katelyn Burt (Phantom-Wølf42) ★★★★★ a year ago
    Such a wonderfully unexpected range in store of second hand books, many in as-new condition. Staff were very friendly and leave you to browse for as long as needed and share valuable information on their book exchange. Definitely worth … More a visit!
  • Avatar Heather Lucas ★★★★★ a year ago
    I am over the moon amazed with the quick delivery of my ordered books. My husband is in hospital for a lengthy stay and all he wanted was some more books about his favourite character. Thankyou so very much
  • Avatar James Flores ★★★★★ 2 years ago
    By The Book is the friendliest bookstore in the Riverina region. They are always happy to help you. The online shop is fantastic for those that live out of town and stocks an enormous range of their catalogue. There's something for … More everyone here.

    Great & variable collection of books. Definitely a must-visit if in the area
  • Avatar Emily Lightfoot ★★★★★ 3 years ago
    I have been one of Jacquie's customers for a couple of decades now and this is hands down one of the best bookshops in the country, either new or secondhand. The books are all in good condition, there is sufficient variety to appeal … More to everyone and Jacquie will go above and beyond to find a specific title for you if it isn't already in stock. It is the kind of place that you might wander into to spend five or ten minutes browsing and then accidentally walk out an hour and a half later, with your arms full of books and most of the grocery money missing from your wallet, whilst you shake hands with yourself about all the bargains and great additions to your library you just acquired.
  • Avatar Martin Frauenfelder ★★★★★ 3 years ago
    Pretty good selection of 2nd hand books and friendly service.
  • Avatar Jennifer Dawson ★★★★★ 3 years ago
    Great shop. Well presented. Good prices and plenty to choose from.
  • Avatar Ian Allert ★★★★★ 3 years ago
    My wife loves going there and the owner Jackie is beyond helpful. She go there every day of the week if her pay packet would allow her to.
  • Avatar K C ★★★★★ 3 years ago
    Best second hand bookshop in the area! Staff are always friendly & helpful, and will happily source any book you can't find.
    Awesome place for booklovers!

  • Avatar K ★★★★★ 3 years ago
    First visit. It felt like I was walking into a store of new books. It's so clean and well organised. Great range and service.
  • Avatar QuietPenguin Gaming ★★★★★ 4 years ago
    Only place to get your books! Super friendly, knowledgeable staff who are more than happy to help you find what you want! Also very well organised if you'd prefer to browse on your own.
  • Avatar Lin Eccleston ★★★★★ 4 years ago
    Amazing range of good quality second hand books including Folio and antiques. Knowledgeable and helpful owner.
  • Avatar Daniel Mckenzie ★★★★★ 4 years ago
    Absolutely love, love, love this bookshop, biggest second hand bookstore I have ever seen! Never have I been unable to find a title or author I've gone there to look for, they have everything! Old and rare. Fiction and non fiction. … More Something for everyone.
  • Avatar Michele Nesich ★★★★★ 4 years ago
    An amazing second hand bookstore! You would think you are walking into a store full of brand new books. Well worth the visit, a lot of work has been put into cataloging the many genres of books. Well done!
  • Avatar Nicole Glover ★★★★★ 5 years ago
    What a fabulous bookstore. So much to choose from. You'd be very hard pressed, not to find something for yourself here, that's for sure. A beautifully kept store and such friendly and welcoming service. Definitely worth a visit … More for out of towners. We really enjoyed calling by today, and not for the last time, that's for sure.
  • Avatar David Norris ★★★★★ 6 years ago
    A huge range of literature, fiction, non-fiction and some surprises in there too. The catalogue is updated regularly (monthly I think) and the customer service is excellent.
    You couldn't ask for much more from a bookstore.
    I always
    … More check here first before buying from the competitors because the books are in good condition and reasonably priced.
    Pop in and have a look! Happy reading.
