The Book Merchant Jenkins

THE BOOK MERCHANT JENKINS HAS CLOSED AT WEST END IN FEBRUARY 2024 AND WILL RE-OPEN AT WOOLLOONGABBA.

The Book Merchant Jenkins is Brisbane's most beautiful second-hand bookstore, inside an historic West End Church.

Inside the stunning space, with vaulted ceilings, stained glass windows and polished floorboards, bibliophiles will find one of Australia's most diverse and interesting collections of books for sale.

Shelves are lined with quality second-hand books, including rare and antiquarian, from an impressive range of genres with a focus on sexuality, LGBTIQ+, ethnopharmacology, and art.

Brand new books of old favourites and specialty topics are mixed in among the pre-loved books, and can be specially ordered if not on the shelf.

There is a lot to discover in this shop and there are even more rare items tucked away, from small pamphlets to large portfolios. Browsing the website before a visit can help you get a list of books to inspect while you are there.
