    Galactic Video - Down these stairs into a strange kind of unexpected time warp...

    Stephen Vincent is a Sci-Fi movie lover, and for sixteen years he has been operating Galactic…read moreVideo, South Australia's only science fiction video/DVD rental store. He is a happy geek and will tell you himself with a big proud smile. The store is downstairs off of Gawler Place, and seems like it's stuck in some kind of time warp, because there are videos on old school video shop shelves, and some amazing Doctor Who creatures standing around ready to yell "Exterminate!" at you with wobbly high pitched voices. If they do I'd run up the stairs out of the shop if I were you! Seriously, if you are a Start Trek, Doctor Who or Fantasy fan, this is a great video rental shop for you. Plenty of choices, and Stephen will gladly hunt down anything you are looking for that he doesn't have. If you just browse in the store and don't have a chat with Stephen, you will not appreciate the value of such a store in the city... uncover the amazing secrets by starting a converstaiion with him and you will be glad you did.

    This store is a real treat, and it's amazing to see this place around the Rundle Mall area…read more A niche for the weird and science fiction. The amount of times I've been at a suburban video store and wanted to rent out an entire series of something, only to find one tape is missing. You'll never get that here. The shelves are packed with amazing finds of old videos that will make a sci-fi geek squeal in delight. It almost sounds and looks like a place that a movie about two guys running a video store might take place.

    The name of this shop really reveals nothing about it. When I went into it I had never heard of it…read moreor seen anything like it. I think it is even going to be a struggle to explain. Walk in and you see what looks and smells like a block of chocolate. Next to it, a tin of biscuits. Around the room there are cakes, bottles of wines, soccer balls etc. However, they are all books. Yes books that are made to look like what they are discussing. Inside each of the books it discusses the history of each item, including photos and quotes. I can't decide if this is tacky or cool? Mum and I decided that they would be a lot better if they were notepads or diaries. How good would it be to have a diary that looked and smelt like chocolate? You can't really use a history book too much, but it could be a good dining table book. The lady working there told us that the books were great for presents. Hilarious giving someone a bottle of wine and it actually being a book (I for one would be extremely disappointed). However, it is a good idea for children. They would think it was fun, whilst also learning about their chosen item!

    Toots Books is a truly creative concept of a book store and I can't say I've ever seen anything…read morelike it before. They sell books that come in shapes of actual objects such as a chocolate bar, a football, a shoe or a CD. At first glance I didn't even know what it was until the friendly lady behind the counter explained what it's all about. Take for example the book that looks like a bottle of wine: they sell it in a cardboard box that looks like a box with real wine. The book inside then tells the story of wine with plenty of pictures and trivia. I really like the idea of the shop and it's certainly fun to look at all their things. Would I buy it for myself? Probably not, but it can be a great gift idea!
