Archives Fine Books

With over half a million fine old books from all genres and eras crowded into the ceiling to floor dusty shelves of Archives, this unique Brisbane CBD bookstore is the kind of place you could get lost in for days.

Fittingly occupying an early 20th century warehouse (part of the Charlotte St Group), Archives is a veritable goldmine of rare editions, obscure prints and collectables: military, Shakespeare, plays, millinery, design, poetry, psychiatry, history, a brilliant collection of collectable children’s classics … the list is endless.

In fact, if it was published once, it’s probably here, so wander the endless corridors and weep at how much you’ll never know then rejoice at finding that out of print book you've always wanted to read.
