I haven’t actually purchased from here (yet) but when I called to ask for a certain book, the man was so friendly & helpful I felt compelled to leave a review! Genuine service like this is rare, but much appreciated 🙏 …

Amazing place where you could easily find all categories of old books. The receptionist is friendly and easy-going. Price is also reasonable despite some books may have marks and missing pages

A very nice, spacious and amazing store for all types of books you are looking for. Nice and police staff with wide range of options to choose. We got really excited when got in and spend couple of hours there without even noticing the time. If interested in book and history give this store a visit.

Can’t go wrong with Archives Fine books. Great quality of books, range, service and atmosphere. Truly the best rare find shop in Brisbane! The range really is wide, from your modern classics, translated books, cookbooks, to local authors, the stores’ got it all. Most of the time they’re in really great quality, and if not, they’ve always got some compromise for you. Great prices, the interior is charming, and service are friendly, knowledgeable and welcoming. Can’t resist coming here everytime I’m in the city or on the way home from uni. You never know what gem you’re going to find. Highly recommend the visit.

Called into Archive Fine Books with the guys from my bookclub. Been curious about this bookshop for years so nice to finally check it out. Archive Fine Books rocks a 'Book Depository' vibe, long aisles of plain timber shelving stacked high with books. Very large, a little gloomy, but definitely interesting and unique. An eclectic range of subjects, bit of an Aladdin's Cave really, books are grouped but this is more a browse style book shop. We all stumbled upon interesting titles, volumes or memories.

Absolute gem of a store. My father in law loves to stop by here whenever he visits. Wonderful knowledgeable staff with an exceptional range of books. Found a long lost book I had when I was in high school and it was very reasonably priced, I highly recommend coming here whenever you’re in town. The amount of people waiting outside for the doors to open this morning was really wonderful to see!

Nice signage..helps with the intrigue. Its also on a nice block which is great if you're walking as you'll pass all the good Asian foods for when you need a break. If you're at Southbank take the Kitty cat over or walk over the bridge. Surround yourself in an amazing range and the good thing is they have multiples of the same book. Bring your step ladder!
