WELCOME TO ~book&volume~
~
book&volume - independent, Australian-owned and operated!
Our main focus is classic English literature of the Elizabethan and early Jacobean periods - and the periods themselves. book&volume is probably the only Australasian bookseller that exclusively focuses on an era that produced an inspired endeavour in writing, performance, music, philosophy, cartography, science, etc, that directly affects and connects to our present day.
Enjoy browsing 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 that is 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!
