Melbourne City Reads


  • Mary Martin Bookshop Shop G17, Southgate Shopping Centre VIC, 3006 Australia (map)

Melbourne, after everything we’ve been through, let us send a love letter to our wonderful city by reading together!

In collaboration with our fellow Melbourne City bookshops Readings Books, Paperback Bookshop, Hill of Content, Dymocks Collins Street and North Melbourne Bookshop we are proud to present Melbourne City Reads.

For the next four months, our shops will be selecting a new release by a Melbourne author to celebrate. For that month, the chosen book will be available for 25% off the RRP at all of our stores. Towards the end of each month, the featured author will be in conversation in a free event at the Wheelers Centre which will also be live-streamed.
