Bent Books

West End

Updated: Feb 12, 2026

Housed within a primary coloured colonial cottage at the busy intersection of Boundary and Vulture Streets in West End, Bent Books is a secondhand book collector’s dream.

The owner not only has her shop stocked ceiling-to-floor with every imaginable genre, from business to witchcraft, wildlife to psychology, humour to gothic, sci-fi to philosophy, graphic novels and comics to children’s picture books, Victorian novels to chic lit, she's always ready, willing and able to locate what you’re looking for.

If perchance, she doesn’t have it, she’ll take your contact details and call if it comes in. This is also a service offered via the Bent Books website. But regardless, it’s worth a visit just to browse as there are so many literary gems tucked away within.
