Ok, so I have a new favourite bookshop! Such a great and interesting range of books. I interacted with the staff several times and they were always really helpful. I've attached a photo of how the books arrived--most stores would have thrown them in a post bag.

not gonna lie, some of the rudest service. went there to ask if they had a book in stock. i just had the book up on my phone, kindly asked if they had this in stock and she merely glanced at my phone and said ‘no sorry’ with such a rude tone, and went back to looking at the computer screen. no ‘hi’ no ‘i can check’ or anything. don’t wanna go back there, no matter how nice the collection they have is.

A little hard to find but worth the effort! A bookstore with a goal in mind and a lovingly curated collection. Staff are knowledgeable and approachable.

I cannot begin to tell you all how much I love Metropolis bookshop. The owner is super lovely and the staff is always friendly. Metropolis is not your typical bookshop. They have a lot of unique art, fashion, arcitecture and design books, books imported from Japan and more alternative books. Come here if you're looking for something unique!

Found Julia Fox’s Down the Drain new edition here. The coolest selection of international art books that makes me appreciate Melbourne.

Amazing service!!! I did an online order for my brother for his birthday. I live overseas. Kate took off the price labels, and gift wrapped the books. Order was dispatched the following morning. I cannot recommend them enough, great choice of books as well!! My new go to book store. Thank you very much.
