Down a flight of stairs off Flinders Street, a short walk from the station, this long-standing basement shop is a maze of floor-to-ceiling shelves and neat stacks. It keeps no single specialty, which is the point: out-of-print oddities, older hardbacks and everyday paperbacks all turn up in the same aisle.
