Curio Books

Here is a real vintage bookshop. Not just an op-​shop bookshop that sells second hand new releases, the books here are old. There are also a lot of vintage books from the region such as ‘South Australian Beetles: Part 3,’ if you are interested in beetles!
I don’t think I would personally buy anything from this shop. I didn’t look at every book in the store, but I couldn’t see anything that I was greatly interested in reading. However, I would suggest coming here if you collect old books of some description or have a specific hobby, for example beetles.
A lot of the books are extremely old. Kept in plastic to stop them from breaking, hence would definitely be collector pieces. However, there is a section of slightly more current novels, such as crime. The avid reader would be able to find a few good books here. Even if you don’t buy a book it is enjoyable and funny to walk around and look at the old books!

I always get curious when I see a second hand book store. Curio makes me curios! Get it? No… I guess it wasn’t that funny…
Curio is a nice little second hand book store located in Hahndorf which stocks some decent second hand books. I was pleased with the selection and there were some hard to find titles I couldn’t get ahold of in the city. I would assume that a lot of people wouldn’t think to look for hard to find books this far out.
Interestingly enough the general tourism crowd that you normally see at Hahndorf don’t tend to go into this place all that much, and every time I’ve been to visit it the store has been quiet.
If you’re after a hard to find book and have had no luck in the city then maybe venture out to Hahndorf and see what they have to offer.
