Established in 1973, Elizabeth’s Bookshops are one of Australia’s largest second-hand bookshop operations, with two stores in Fremantle. With over 400,000 books in stock, most books are sourced locally from customers, many of whom bring in their pre-loved books to the Fremantle warehouse on Queen Victoria Street.
Elizabeth's also scour the world for books with a network of small second-hand and specialist antiquarian bookshops, stretching across the UK from Brighton to Yorkshire to Wales and in the USA, dusty warehouses of publisher’s left-overs provide piles of art and philosophy and whatever looks funky, obscure, esoteric and interesting.
At 23 Queen Victoria Street, Fremantle you can find Elizabeth's warehouse and lose yourself in the shelves, stacks and collections of books or stop into the store at 8 South Terrace and pick up their famous 'blind date with a book'.
