QUALITY BOOKSHOP IN THE HEART OF CLUNES
UNCLE PETER'S
BOOKS
This charming rambling cottage in the village of Clunes NSW, prodigious with books in every conceivable nook, is a spot for respite. Book lovers can wander through and browse the seven rooms of wall-to-wall books, neatly categorised to suit all interests, and organised alphabetically by author where possible.
Uncle Peter’s Books has a collection of over 30,000 quality second-hand books in this Northern Rivers Hinterland bookshop, and a further 6,000 collectible, out-of-print and rare books listed on the Abebooks website. With 24 hours’ notice we are happy to arrange an in-store viewing of any publication from our Abebooks catalogue.
Our extensive Australiana section, spanning politics, biography, history, society and culture is complimented by an eclectic collection of foreign language books, including novels and dictionaries. Books of poetry, drama and art reside in the Culture Room alongside books of myths and legends, classics, philosophy, cinema, music, dance, architecture and antiques. Our military books share a whole room with modern and ancient history and archaeology. Shelves are dedicated to our extensive fiction section, and special interests like cooking, craft, sport, health, science, well-being, relationships, travel, religion, biography, true crime and photography. The bright and breezy front sunroom is devoted to children’s picture books, novels, classics and young adult fiction.
The best way to experience Uncle Peter’s Books is to set aside some time to immerse yourself among the shelves
The front room of Uncle Peter's Books is home to 'Little Green Clunes', a charming emporium of gifts, soaps and candles, cards, art prints and lots of little treasures.
Two doors down, the Clunes Café serves delicious food and great coffee. Across the road is the sunny Clunes Park, where you can find a comfortable seat or patch of grass to relax and read.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Do you have all your books catalogued?
With the extensive range of books we stock, this would be impractical. If you are after a particular book, please don’t hesitate to contact us. Our books are well-organised into categories and subcategories where we can. We do have books catalogued and available for sale online at Abebooks.
I’ll be in the area for a while.
Are there any other second-hand bookshops I could check out?
Yes, there are a few on the Far North Coast and South East Queensland. See our bookseller’s association website for details.
I’m having a clear out and have unwanted books. Are you interested?
It depends. From time-to-time we can not accept books due to space constraints. We do not take magazines, encyclopaedias, Reader’s Digest Condensed, Book Club, popular romance, text, computer and ex-library books, but can otherwise accept books in good condition. Please don't drop off books without prior arrangement. Contact us if you have unwanted books and we can let you know how we are for space.
