Pages & More

Pages & More have every book you can think of. I’ve walked in a few times not believing that a bookshop in Glenelg will have what I’m looking for, but I’m always able to find it here.
The staff are lovely and helpful too.
I’d love for the books to be cheaper, but whatever, Trevor.

I must admit, I’m another of those people who loves books so much that it’s probably led directly to the collapse of A&R and Borders — thanks largely to the crack-​like addiction that I have with Amazon’s online Kindle outlet. Where before I’d spend a hundred bucks on a couple of books, I now spend that much and get twenty, which is great, so long as my battery lasts.
However, I can’t bring myself to give an Amazon gift card to anyone for their birthdays. No, I want to buy them books. It’s a much more enjoyable experience, cracking pages open, that smell of books, you know, all the sentimental stuff.
So I’ve stopped by here a couple of times to do my christmas shopping, and to get stuff for birthdays. I don’t mind it, there’s a fairly good selection, and the staff seem reasonably friendly, and very efficient and helpful.
I don’t mind this place at all.

After book stores have been dropping like flies all over Adelaide, having Pages and More in Glenelg has been a blessing for all the people like me who are still in hibernation after Borders was closed down. The shop is pretty large and offers a range of books from non fiction to fiction and everything in between. I love browsing through there on a lazy Sunday morning, stroking the covers of the hundreds of titles I want to read but cannot afford to buy. Aside from books they offer a range of cards and wrapping which is quite extensive and looks very cute.
Although I didn’t interact with the staff I observed them serving other customers and they seemed friendly and knowledgeable about the layout of the store. They did talk a little amongst themselves when there were no customers but surely everyone has done that at once stage or another and at 10am on a Sunday morning they should probably be afforded a break.

I love this bookshop, if only for the fact that it gives me ideas on what next to download to my xoom :) Though I do end up feeling bad for not buying anything, so I often make the treck here if I need a gift.
They have a big range, and the place is nicely set out, so if you have a few people browsing in the same sections, you’re not going to be falling over each other.
The staff are helpful, and though the books are a tad expensive, it’s a good option for anyone in Glenelg with a sudden urge to read a book on the beach.

I love book stores! I’m not sure why, but this one is no exception. It has soo many books it’s ridiculous (about 170,000 titles in stock at one time — to be exact). There is something for everyone including fashion, travel, fiction, non fiction, DVDs, magazines, newspapers, gift ideas, and of course kids books.
If you are like me and struggle to decide what book to bury your nose in next, the staff at Pages and More have kindly written suggestions to good books they have read and stuck it next to that book on the shelf. There is also a top 10 section, which also helps.
I could spends hours in here, I definitely suggest this book store for the best and biggest selection, and the helpful staff.

Hear ye, hear ye, book-​lovers (those of us that remain in this era of cinema)! Angus & Robertson and Borders have fallen. Now’s the rise of the independent bookseller!
The Angus & Robertson at Glenelg is a clear example of this, having changed its name to Pages & More. It has retained its staff, ownership and layout, however, so unless you took a peep skyward as you passed through the front doors, you might not notice the title alteration.
This is not at all to the store’s detriment, though somewhat to its credit. The book selection is precisely what you might imagine it to be at a franchise store, as is their placement. This means you get the convenience of a franchise store and the intimacy of an independence store. It’s win-​win.
Pages & More hasn’t separated itself enough from its Angus & Robertson roots to develop its own identity (yet), however I’d heartily recommend it over any franchise store simply for its independence. As the book industry marches bravely on into the rise of eBooks, and is wedged in between an ever tightening corridor with walls labelled ‘Cinema’ and ‘Video Games’ on either side, it feels very much like every dollar spent at an independent store is contributing to the war effort.
