The Really Good Bookshop

Hillcrest

Updated: Feb 12, 2026

The Really Good Bookshop In Hillcrest is a reader’s paradise, practically bursting at the seams with a huge range of books, book-related gifts, and even more books.

Stocking thousands and thousands of new and used titles, it’s easy to lose yourself (figuratively and almost literally) in this epic Hillcrest bookshop.

They have every genre imaginable, including horror, paranormal fiction, romance, thrillers, finance, education, children’s and baby titles, puzzles and so much more. They also boast a stack of rare and out-of-print titles, virtually impossible to find elsewhere.

Given the relatively cosy nature of the store (make sure you leave strollers at home!), you’ll instantly be struck by just how many titles there are stuffed under one roof. Those who really relish the hunt for the perfect book will be in heaven here.

However, if you know exactly what you’re after and just want to get down to the business of reading, the whole collection is meticulously catalogued, meaning the search need not take more than a few minutes.

If you’ve got some books gathering dust at home, bring them along, and for every good-condition book you trade in, you’ll receive a credit to use in store.

Nice to know – If you can’t get to the physical store, you can make your purchases on The Really Good Bookshop’s website.

Need to know – Free car parking is available in the onsite carpark.
