Join book lovers around the world this April and embark on an adventure through the heart of your city’s indie bookshops with the Global Book Crawl.

We might be biased, but we think Melbourne has some of the best independent bookshops in the World! Take part in Melbourne’s Book Crawl between April 21st - 27th to explore our city’s literary gems—with the chance to win some fantastic prizes along the way.

HOW TO TAKE PART

Pick up your Global Book Crawl passport from any of the participating bookshops listed below. Visit the bookshops on your passport to collect a stamp.

Once you’ve collected stamps at 9 of the 12 participating shops (all 6 individual shops, 1 of the 2 Mary Martin stores and 2 of the 4 Readings stores) hand in your passport at any of the bookshops to go into the draw for a chance to win the grand prize of 50 Penguin Random House books of your choice.* Everyone who completes the Book Crawl and hands in a completed passport will receive a free book chosen from a great selection.

Book crawlers who spend over $100 at any participating bookshop will also receive a free limited edition Melbourne Global Book Crawl tote bag (while stock lasts).

We’d love to see pictures of your Melbourne bookshop adventures! Post your photos to social media using the hashtag #globalbookcrawl and #melbournebookcrawl for a chance to win a $100 book voucher from Book People.

Please note that public holidays over Easter and Anzac Day will affect our opening hours.
