    I must warn you. You should not come here if you are saving money. You should not come here if you…read moreare trying to live light. You should not come here if you're about to go overseas, or if you're about to move house. Because as soon as you step through the doors, you will fall into a hypnotic book-trance as over 8000 titles try to lure you over to them, all words and tongues, and you won't leave until you have a brown-paper lunch-bag full of the most delicious literary treats you could hope for! Warren and Kirsty have created the most beautiful inner-city shrine to literature, a land of teak and glass artifacts, tempting sit-spots and a plenty titles that are guaranteed to fill you with a sense of wonderment and inspiration! They also have an array of in-store events and appearances, and are just some of the most lovely people you'll meet! Moving to Melbourne from a small country town, I was warned you'd be hard pressed to come by a sense of community and caring in the big, cold city. But spending a little time in the store you'll see there's a heartbeat and lifeblood flowing though our beautiful Melbourne - and the soulful brain is at Embiggen. Go get lost there for a little while - you'll likely end up finding yourself on the shelves there somewhere!

    I LOVE this swanky little book shop. There's a sweet open window front display of the whole store…read morewhich really feasts the eyes. When en-route to a meeting a friend for coffee i received a text that said she was going to be running late and lucky enough i was walking past Embiggen when this happened. Embiggen was actually closed up until mid October due to flooding (I'm sure it had something to do with that massive storm in August), now open Embiggen is a book store to be reckoned with. They have a large range of titles all spread across a wooden interior (both floor and shelving), genres range from anything Art & Design, Sciences, Fiction, Economics, Politics, Poetry, Travel and more, there's a epic range for you to procrastinate through.

    Rainy Day Books is a little bookstore in The Basin selling second hands books of all varieties…read more From newer titles to old classics, the books here fill the shelves and walls to the point of breaking, and its no surprise that the sign on the door reading "Not buying books at the moment" hasn't moved for over a year now. I usually head to the music and movies section, where you'll find autobiographies, cinephile and some interesting titles on either musicians and actors or music and movies themselves. Books are fairly priced and a visit to Rainy Day Books helps keep honest second hand bookstores alive and kicking.

    This Bookshop is an Aladdin's Cave of delights. No matter what your favourite author or what your…read morefavourite genre, Rainy Day Books will and can suit the most discerning book-lover. It's just amazing what you'll find there. Shelved in selected categories it is easy to navigate around the shop and you'll even find a sofa on which to sit and peruse a couple of books before you buy. There's so much to choose from and you'll never go home without at least one book under your arm. Rainy Day Books has some real treasures, not least of all old classics and children's books from the early 1900s which are collectors pieces for both young and old. For modern youngsters, the children's section is always popular not only with the kids but also with their parents and it's great hearing the giggles and chuckles of glee when a book is chosen especially by it's little buyer. It's no wonder that people drive from the other side of the city and as far afield as the Mornington Peninsula and Central Victoria to visit this bookstore, as hard-to-find and rare books from around the world are quickly accessed and found, and delivered to an excited waiting client. This little bookshop is a "must" to visit when visiting The Basin, at the foothills of the Dandenongs. At the roundabout in the Basin, you'll experience the friendliness of a bookshop proprietor who really knows her books and shares her knowledge so willingly. After spending time in the bookshop and coming away with at least a few, I also take advantage of having a cuppa at either of the great little coffee shops in the same shopping centre - they're always crowded.
