About Us

For more than 100 years, Collins has helped Australians find their next great read. What began as a newsagency on Collins Street in 1922 is now a network of 25 locally owned bookshops, most in regional Victoria and New South Wales. Each store brings books, ideas and connection to its community, shaped by the people who know it best.

Why Us?

A Collins bookshop brings the independence and identity of local ownership together with the experience, systems and shared strength of a national network.

  • Your bookshop, shaped by your town
    Choose books, events and the feel of your store to suit the people around you.

  • Independent, never on your own
    Learn alongside other Collins owners and draw on Head Office support, established systems, ecommerce, marketing and supplier relationships.

  • Bookselling experience behind you
    Build on more than a century of bookselling and a name readers may already know.

  • A range with room for your judgement
    Start with a recommended core range, then choose books and complementary products that reflect your customers.
