Three floors up in Curtin House on Swanston Street, this independent bookshop stocks the titles most shops won't touch: critical theory, counterculture, small press photography, esoterica, and a deep architecture section sorted by publisher. The new arrivals rail recently included Helmut Newton, Martin Parr, and a graffiti history of New York. For people who read seriously.
Address checked against the operator’s own website, 20 September 2026.
