QBD The Bookshop

While I may have taken to the digital eBook revolution, nothing can beat reading a paperback copy of a novel, text or any form of book that are amongst hundreds of titles on shelves. Most books are well below the RRP and they have the best range of science books I have found in any bookstore.
But, this place is definitely no Dymocks bookstore. Their range used to be larger at the QBD but they have significant downsized, mainly due to devices such as Kindles and iPads that have the huge catalogue and good pricing. I like to browse a lot of the books here from time to time though, and I am sure that many are on the same page as I am with this one (pun somewhat intended), meaning that (hopefully) bookshops will still last well into the future.
It is a shame there range isn’t as expansive as it has been though because I am sure they would have had a great collection at one point. I have tried ordering in before but it can take quite some time to get the title you want.

QBD is the last bookshop left in the Marion Shopping Centre, a real sign of the way book shopping has changed over the past few years. QBD is a small book store with mainly popular titles in stock, a blow to those who love to peruse shelf after shelf to find some little known novella to read in the afternoon.
QBD has good specials in store, a decent sized non-​fiction section and an OK sized fiction section for adults, youth and children. Those looking for a CBD Dymocks equivalent will be disappointed but if you know what you’re looking for you can place a request for your book to be ordered in.
New releases are easy to get your hands on and the classics are abundant. Not somewhere necessarily able to peruse for an hour but a flick through is easy enough. Not the bookstore I dream about, but definitely somewhere to swing by to pick up a present or two.
