Our first delivery of stock sold out in a day and we've been patiently waiting for more stock to arrive to fill all the orders that have been flooding in.

16.01.2022 Considering armchair travel is the only travel we’ll be doing anytime soon- here are a couple beautiful new releases on some far away places. In ‘My Town: An Artist’s Life in London’, David Gentleman illustrates and ruminates on the pleasure of looking again at the everyday- and how this has changed in the past few decades. In ‘Patterns of India’, Christine Chitnis takes us on a textile-based tour of colourful Rajasthan. Based on over a decade of traveling experience, Chitnis explores how deeply colour and pattern exist in a symbiotic relationship and are woven into every part of culture. Both available to order online now! Same day delivery up until 3pm, get in your last minute Mother’s Day gifts now! Don’t forget, we won’t be delivering tomorrow. @ Richmond, Victoria

15.01.2022 An update from us here at Avenue Bookstore regarding Mother's Day, this Sunday! Like everybody else, we're doing Mother's Day differently this year. Our local home delivery service continues to run with brilliant support Monday - Saturday and we will not be delivering any books this Sunday (Mother's Day). So, get your orders in now to guarantee delivery on Friday or Saturday! Our stores remain closed to the public, but we're happy to help you over the phone between 10am and 6...pm, and our online store is open 24/7. . . . #independentbookstore #bookstore #richmond #albertpark #elsternwick

13.01.2022 Barack Obama's brilliant new presidential memoir has arrived in store! To celebrate we're offering DOUBLE POINTS on this title to all Avenue Bookstore members. 'A Promised Land' is extraordinarily intimate and introspective the story of one man's bet with history, the faith of a community organiser tested on the world stage. Obama is candid about the balancing act of running for office as a Black American, bearing the expectations of a generation buoyed by messages of hope ...and change and meeting the moral challenges of high-stakes decision-making. He is frank about the forces that opposed him at home and abroad, open about how living in the White House affected his wife and daughters, and unafraid to reveal self-doubt and disappointment. Yet he never wavers from his belief that inside the great, ongoing American experiment, progress is always possible. . . . #barackobama #apromisedland #book #bookstagram #independentbookstore #richmond #elsternwick #albertpark See more
