Without a doubt Sydney’s greatest bookstore, the immense Japanese bookstore Kinokuniya (of the global chain, founded in 1927) boasts just about every title under the sun. Of particular note is their huge range of Japanese graphic novels and manga titles, but to be honest, that could be said of almost any category of book there, considering that they claim to stock 300,000 different titles. They’ve got an extensive range of art and design books, too.
These bookstores and newsagents offer something for almost any kind of reader, whether you’re a sci-fi nerd, a studious student, or someone that just wants to flick through the latest copy of Love Magazine. The best part is, they won’t charge you extra for using plastic to pick up your daily read, a quick bite to eat or a gift card – because these local stores have no minimum spend on card purchases.
