  Had several lovely experiences at this bookshop. Staff have always gone above and beyond to help with any inquires. From helping with book enquiries to choosing presents for nieces and nephews. Highly recommended.

  Avenue are my favourite bookstore in Melbourne. The Elsternwick location doesn't have the same breadth of books in some areas, but it has superlative ranges in many ways - and a cosy atmosphere. The poetry section alone is deeply satisfying, and should put other Melbourne bookstores to shame.

  I’ll shop online with the likes of Book Depositary and Amazon from now on.

  I ordered a book online from this store on the 21st of November only to be told it wasn’t in stock (so what was it doing on the website?) I was condescendingly offered the option of the bookstore keeping my money until such time as the book came back in stock (it’s out of print!) or a refund. I chose a refund on the 22nd. After several emails and a telephone call a refund has finally been processed. In the age of online book selling and the soon to be Amazon onslaught the only thing independent book stores have going for them is personalised service. This store fails on that front spectacularly. Oh and a check on their website yesterday revealed the book was still listed on the website!
