This
location
is
across
the
street
from
where
their
much
smaller
shop
used
to
be.
The
old
shop
was
great,
but
this
one
is
just
incredible.
Two
full
floors
of
books
-
new,
used,
vintage,
rare
-
gifts,
journals,
bags,
calendars…
there’s
something
for
everyone
who
loves
to
browse
great
bookstores.
Everyone
I
encounter
at
Russell
Books
is
helpful.
I’ve
never
had
anyone
who
felt
it
was
an
inconvenience
to
do
their
job.
I
love
that
they
combine
used
books
with
the
new
books
and
on
the
back
cover
of
all
books
is
the
price.
For
instance,
last
summer
I
bought
a
gardening
book.
There
were
new
copies
of
the
book,
and
used
copies.
I
just
decided
which
one
I
wanted
to
buy.
I
see
it
as
the
best
of
both
worlds.
I
love
the
vintage
children’s
books,
and
Russell
Books
has
a
lot
to
choose
from.
However,
I
spotted
an
Enid
Blyton
book
from
the
early
1960s,
I
think
it
was,
‘The
Mountain
of
Adventure,’
still
with
dust
cover,
and
it
was
priced
at
$195.
In
a
locked
cabinet.
Born
in
the
UK,
I
wished
I’d
kept
all
my
old
Enid
Blyton
books!
Lol.
They
usually
have
a
very
good
selection
of
Ladybird
children’s
books,
too,
and
I
always
look
for
the
1960s’
titles
and
have
always
been
successful.
I’m
collecting
them
for
my
grandchildren.
They
are
also
extremely
well-priced
at
Russell’s.
So,
yet
another
wonderful
book
store
in
Victoria,
and
located
on
busy
Fort
Street,
with
all
of
its
good
shops
to
also
explore.
Make
sure
you
have
plenty
of
time
to
browse
and
shop.
It’s
definitely
worth
your
time.
