The Book Merchant Jenkins
West End
The Book Merchant Jenkins is Brisbane's most beautiful second-hand bookstore, inside an historic West End Church.
Inside the stunning space, with vaulted ceilings, stained glass windows and polished floorboards, bibliophiles will find one of Australia's most diverse and interesting collections of books for sale.
Shelves are lined with quality second-hand books, including rare and antiquarian, from an impressive range of genres with a focus on sexuality, LGBTIQ+, ethnopharmacology, and art.
Brand new books of old favourites and specialty topics are mixed in among the pre-loved books, and can be specially ordered if not on the shelf.
There is a lot to discover in this shop and there are even more rare items tucked away, from small pamphlets to large portfolios. Browsing the website before a visit can help you get a list of books to inspect while you are there.
Nice to know - Located on the corner of Dornoch Terrace and Doris Street, this independent book seller is a sibling for Logical Unsanity, the 24-hour book shed in Bardon.
Need to know - The Weekly Jenkins, a weekly list of books and other material newly catalogued by The Book Merchant Jenkins, is sent out every Wednesday and is the best way for collectors to get first pick of the unique offerings.
