Title: Bookshops
Post by: dekoyl on November 30, 2008, 12:32:20 am

A while a go, there was a thread that contained the names of quite a few bookshops that specialised in VCE books (study guides, text books etc).
I'm only familiar with A&G.

Are there anymore out there? (I know Dymocks and Angus&Robertsons but they don't really have any VCE texts).

I remember that guy! If you go in there, make sure to not give him your phone number and use the old 'I'm a student, I don't have any money' thing as well.

I got most of my school books from North of the Yarra, which is in Macleod. Also, try eBay.

Yes! That SSRC guy is so pushy. Once you tell him you are a student, he will ask you what subjects you are doing. He will then "recommend" like half his stock to you. Make you buy like a few hundred worth of study guides easily.

Thanks for the recommendations so far.
Would Campion have any study guides? Or do they just sell and distribute common textbooks?

I always go to Landmark. It is my school supplier. However, the books are not discounted, and you should only ever go there when there are no books available at A&G. :P


And yes, the SSRC guy! I ran out as soon as he started talking to me. :D

I've never even been in, and I know he's pushy!
Once, I was just walking through Emirates House to quickly get somewhere, and he started calling me to get me to come in, really loud. I just ignored him...
