This is a terrific independent bookstore, owned and operated by people who know and love books. Every time I am in Sydney (I live in the USA) I make it a point to visit Potts Point Bookshop to browse, to ask for advice on what’s new and worth reading in Australian publishing, and just to enjoy the friendly company of knowledgeable book lovers. Incidentally, I usually return home with some books for my grandchildren — books that are relatively unknown in the US.
It’s not a large space — and Americans accustomed to paying American (I.e.,
) prices for books should be warned that books are significantly more expensive in Australia. But I go to Potts Point Bookshop to find things I can’t find at home
Be sure to sign up for their emails. They are useful and come at just the right frequency.

This pint-​sized independent bookshop really is something special. If not for their super cute selection of handmade cards and their wonderfully curated choice of both local and international authors, than for the fact that I’m convinced they keep every single Wallpaper City Guide in stock at all times.
Laugh if you must, but I’m addicted to these little colourful guides and they’re not easy to find… especially not all the colours of the rainbow! But from fluorescent pink São Paulo to grey Seattle, you’ll find them all here. And for that, among many other reasons, I’m most definitely a fan.

This cute little book store is independently owned and stocks a good range of design, cooking and travel books as well as novels and beautiful coffee table books to give as presents.
When trying to track down some vintage Golden Books that a particular Sydney-​based designer transforms into blank journals, this place was listed as a stockist. Though none were available at the time, the friendly staff member took down my details and promised to call back at a later date when a new batch came in. When I ended up visiting in person, it was easy to see why people enjoy perusing the selection here with attentive shop assistants and easy to navigate sections. I ended up leaving with a new restaurant guide purely because they were so charming.
And, they don’t even mind if you casually skim through a coffee table book or two whilst seated in their cushioned window bench, complete with stuffed animals and an outlook onto the bustling Macleay Street.

The first thing you need to make sure you do is cross the road. You’ll be at Fratelli Paradiso or Woolworths or the Yellow café. cross the road. I know that life is more exciting on the other side of Macleay St but you won’t regret it. You’re going to love this bookstore. I bought Stanley Fish here. I bought one of the Cleopatra biography’s (two strangely came out at almost the same time) here. I bought Nicholas Nasim Taleb here. I bought Charles Saatchi here. You will get an education.
I also love the aesthetic look of this place. It’s airy and a little roomy and good books are always easy to find here.
