Penetrating so many secrets, we cease to believe in the unknowable. But there it sits, nevertheless, calmly licking it's chops.
-H.L. Mencken
A real translation is transparent, it does not cover the original, does not block its light, but allows the pure language, as though reinforced by its own medium to shine upon the original all the more fully.
-Walter Benjamin
Quality Second
Hand Book Store
Original Artwork by Jennifer Shepherd
Our
goal in opening the store is to provide some great literature without
the huge prices. You should really come down to the store and see what
we have. The newest and more interesting titles are featured in the
windows and on various displays. Shepherd Books is looking to offer a
more personal experience.
One of
our favorite things to do is recommend books in the genre you like.
Peter has vast knowledge and a natural ability to cross reference
titles. We love the challenge of finding a specific book as well.
Shepherd Books acquires new titles on a daily basis.
Our store operating hours are as follows:
Monday 10am to 6pm
Tuesday 10am to 6pm
Wednesday 10am to 6pm
Thursday 10am to 6pm
Friday 10am to 6pm
Saturday 10am to 5pm
Sunday 11am to 4pm
Peter
and Jennifer opened the store in May 2007. Did you know that we were
voted one of the Best Secondhand Bookstores in Victoria for 2008? Wow,
were we ever proud of that.
