Bent Books Information

Bent Books is a secondhand bookshop that has been an icon of the vibrant West End community in inner-city Brisbane for nearly two decades. We have a diverse collection of quality titles and unusual treasures (around 40000 of 'em last time we counted!). Despite the name, the books are all in excellent condition, categorised carefully and beautifully arranged. We love traveling almost as much as we love books and keep nearly the full range of new Lonely Planet guides, mostly as an excuse to talk to people about their fabulous journeys. Between the four of us, our staff have over 30 years experience selling books. We're a friendly bunch and we're more than happy to help you find what you're after. As well as selling books, we buy and trade (by appointment), so if you have some you no longer require, give us a bell. Better still, email through a photo or two of the books you're looking to sell (in stacks or on the shelves) with the spines visible and we can tell you which ones we'll take and save you lugging in the ones we wouldn't take. Pop in if you're in the 'hood - we're open 7 days a week - or drop us a line in the contact box below if you can't make it to the shop and we'll get back to you straight away.
