Gleebooks

Bookstore ..or Doctor's Waiting Room? First visit after reno. Hate it. Souless. Who would want to browse the shelves in this sterile environment? Thankfully Sappho is still going.

The still recently-refurbished store (which was a painful throught covid process, but a worthwhile wait) is purpose built for author events as well as retail. The range of new books is excellent. Love the cafe with lift at the back for accessibility, along with a section of secondhand books too. Everything you remembered from the old Gleebooks is there, but with new look.

Great selection of books. The cafe is nice but needs to improve the menu and drinks. A proper strong chai or matcha would be a good start.

I frequent gleebooks and can't say I have ever had a bad experience in any way. The staff are very knowledgeable and helpful, they have a wide range of stock and if they don't have something in stock ordering a book in is really fast and pickup is super easy. Its so easy to support an awesome local business when they are as great as this one.

In the central part of Glebe, opposite the market, is a popular 2 1/2-storey bookshop located - Gleebooks, the kind of bookshop that feels timeless & alive. It's often praised for its well-stocked shelves & wide range of books. The book store has a welcoming & community-minded feel & it’s a big plus with the café upstairs that adds to the charm. There’s a very large range of books that’s sorted alphabetically. It’s quite easy to find books, use the great reviews & look at recommendations to support new interesting finds! It’s an organised & tidy place with nice volume displays - an inspiring store full of knowledge.
