Westgarth books makes reading books social. With a book club on Thursdays, coffee and indoor/​outdoor seating. It’s a bookshop, but not the library-​esc type of bookshop; you can make some noise if you want. Whilst it’s not the largest shop with the largest selection, it’s personal and inviting. Once there, treat yourself to a coffee and open it up.
Books should be discussed, not just kept in your head.
So with discussions held often, with either the book club or the authors, there’s no reason not to catch up.
There’s a good wall of teen selection, and a space up the back to plop the kiddies with a book.

Outside of a killer selection of books and associated paraphernalia, the best thing about Westgarth books is the blog (
). At a glance you realise the amount of effort that goes into the thing. They have weekly picks and detailed analysis of new releases, multiple clubs to take part in and they have a shitpile of events, readings, launches and talks about the books, literature and ideas that make Melbourne the fantastic city it is and this is no small thing.
The small independent bookstore will (with any luck) be the saviour of the book industry in this country. My prediction: there will be a major backlash against the suffocating online forces and a return to shopping locally. Where else can you get to talk to people who are genuinely passionate about their subject area and wanting to share that passion with the consumer? It only costs a couple of extra bucks to embrace these places, and it’s every cent worth it.
