AVENUE BOOKSTORE
Avenue Bookstore, which is owned by Chris Redfern and is one of Australia’s award-winning bookshops, was opened in 1986 in the heart of Albert Park village. Redfern regards the business as a book haven, a favourite meeting place and a destination for book lovers across Melbourne and beyond.
There are also stores in Elsternwick and Richmond that carry an extensive and personally curated range of local and imported books with a strong focus on the best new releases and backlist titles in all categories. Avenue Bookstore prides itself on a high level of customer service and knowledgeable staff.
Redfern believes that despite the threat of e-books and online suppliers such as Amazon and the post-Borders world, ‘there is a great opportunity for good bookstores to thrive’ and going to a local bookshop ‘is a cultural experience, a curated experience’. He says that customers choose books and Avenue Bookstore employees talk to them about their selections or assist them in choosing books.
