This is a list of most secondhand booksellers and book exchanges in Perth, Western Australia and its suburbs. They are grouped in suburbs order. I have not included specialist stores (e.g. only art, fiction, military, motoring, sex, occult, etc). Having visited other cities around the world and had trouble finding a list of secondhand booksellers, I hope this may help book-loving visitors to my fair city!

If you want to do-it-yourself, try searching Australian yellowpages for BUSINESS TYPE: "books", WHERE: "WA-Perth" (Business Name and Suburb are optional), and then "Books--Secondhand &/or Antiquarian" (or "Books-Retail" for new books). Or now you can search Australian whitepages and select "Business Name" (name of the bookeller), "Suburb", "State" ("Western Australia"), "Metropolitan Area" and "Business/Government". If phoning from the USA (and maybe other countries), add Australia's International phone 61, but only 8 (instead of "08") for the area code.

A map of a store's location can be found by entering its address into the online Australian street directory. Also locations of Western Australian secondhand bookstores can now be found on AussieWeb and dLook. You can enter the address into Transperth's journey planner for public transport to the store.

In July 2007 I received an email from a homeowner who had been allocated the phone number of a bookstore that had closed four years previously and who had been receiving annoying phone calls for that bookstore for the past two years. I replied that I had deleted that entry immediately I received his email. I also explained that this page is a free service to Perth and suburbs booksellers and their customers, and if I had to regularly contact all the bookstores in it to find out if they still existed, I would have to close the page. So please email me with your comments, especially if a bookseller no longer exists, or if it exists but I don't have it listed.
