WELCOME TO ~book&volume~


book&volume - independent, Australian-owned & operated!

[If you are bookseller/bookshop and you have landed on this page but really want to know about the books distributed by book&volume, you should click here. And, if you are library, the best place for you is here].

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!

But, if you are more interested in children's books, graphic novels, gardening and much more, go to our Search page, click on 'Select a Topic', scroll down towards the bottom and have a look at what else book&volume has available ...
