Bricks & Mortar
Located in the elegant Adelaide Arcade, Orchard Bookshop is one of Australia’s premier boutique bookstores.
With an ever-changing, hand-picked selection of new, vintage & collectible books, every visit is a unique experience.
Our CBD bookstore is open Tuesday-Saturday for you to take time-out from the overwhelming demands of modern society.
Online Store
Looking for a special book to add to your personal library or gift? Our online store contains a selection of items sure to enhance any book collection.
Just like our in-store experience, we intentionally keep our selection small and, as books are purchased, we replace with different titles to create a fresh experience with your every visit.
We’ve found there’s a real “snooze, you lose” thing happening so it pays to be checking in regularly!
Sell / Donate / Downsize
Generally, we ask for some photos to get the conversation started – check out our Downsizing Page for more info.
Support our Bookstore
But this is proving increasingly difficult to sustain, so if you are in a position to help, we would truly appreciate your support.
We have a range of ways, both financial & otherwise, by which you can help us make the world a little bit better.
Become an Orchardist
We promise not to bombard you with weekly/fortnightly/even monthly emails [we’re far too ambivalent for that type of regularity]. But we sometimes have some interesting things about which you may wish to be amongst the first to know.
Low on the banter, high on the brow, our Very Occasional Email list is the best way to stay in the loop with all things Orchard. Join up here!
Airline Petition
Do you think there should be an extra Book Luggage Allowance [eg 3kg] on plane flights in addition to the standard Cabin Luggage weight limit?
