book&volume's main focus is classic English literature, particularly the literature of the Elizabethan and early Jacobean periods - and the periods themselves. book&volume is the only Australasian bookseller that pays comprehensive attention to an era that produced an inspired endeavour in writing, performance, music, philosophy, science, etc, that directly affects and connects to our present day.
Browse our range of books, period music, audio books and DVDs - to whet, or increase, your appetite for this period. As well as standard books and texts published by the usual suspects, we also stock an array of material not readily available in Australia – from the seriously academic to the downright irreverent.
There is life in the Bard and his contemporaries, and we are sure they'd agree that they weren't meant to be stodgy!

'Herewith a few kind words:- The concept of Classical Comics is truly inspirational ... The stage and page are brought vividly to life. The artwork of Jon Haward is both dramatically compelling and beautifully illustrative. His pictures illuminate the words to perfection and bring these great works leaping to mind and eye. This format is immediate, vital, energetic and engaging. Highly recommended for any student of Shakespeare!' - Derek Jacobi, October 2009

'All things in common nature should produce
Without sweat or endeavour: treason, felony,
Sword, pike, knife, gun, or need of any engine,
Would I not have; but nature should bring forth,
Of its own kind, all foison, all abundance,
To feed my innocent people'.
