  I spend a long time in this shop. They specialise in Australian books which seem to cover all subjects. The older gentleman is very knowledgeable but is only there on the weekends. Happy to recommend.

  Besides a fine selection from further afield, there are many enticing local titles for the curious visitor like myself; I wish I had a local bookshop like this at home.

  A remarkably good range of indigenous books, dvd's. In the time I was in the shop several people asked for stock which was not available. Hopefully the stock will soon be ordered/arrive!! I could easily have spent many more$$$$.

  Hey! What does it take to have a thriving, real book shop these days, in a small town when bookshops are becoming scarce even in cities? How about their carefully-curated stock of fine, local reading matter, for a start? A fair number of visitors to The Alice do get the distinct impression that they'd better start reading what the locals have written (yes, Alice has the highest number of educated cognoscenti per head outside of Canberra!) From historical to the outrageous. poetry to pictorial to Pitjantjara, browsing this jewel amongst bookshops will be frustratingly cut short by your impending flight departure. My advice is grab just two books and slip in one of Red Kangaroo's bookmarks so you can order more from home.
