The Book Boys have 8 stores in Adelaide and are a South Australian company that started in 2005. Similar to QBD, they stock large numbers of heavily discounted books, and much more non fiction than fiction. By shopping here you are supporting local business which is good, but The Book Boys aren’t really supporting high quality literature which is bad. The shelves are largely sci fi, vampire porn, poor quality chick lit and cook books.
Sorry dudes, but it’s like you’re picking your stock from the Women’s Weekly Top Ten lists. Like QBD they have a small ‘literature’ section next to the equally disrespected poetry shelves. This area is the only place in the whole store I would actually find a good novel that I’d like to buy, but unfortunately recent releases don’t seem to be stocked by this chain. This is another book store that I try to avoid: clinical, mostly badly written novels, but at low low prices.

Book boys is great for finding gifts for those people you have no idea what to buy and don’t want to spend a lot. I’m sure I’m not the only one who has some of these on their list?
I know that chances are I can find something for almost anyone in here (yes I know these gifts will probably end up in the back of a wardrobe, or re-​gifted the following year-​hopefully not back to me though! That would be awkward!).
There are a lot of these discount type bookstores around, and book boys isn’t that much different to the rest.
