Australia's favourite independent bookshop

 

In Shutter City, historian Robyn Annear peers into every shadowy corner to reveal postcard streetscapes as miraculous time-capsules, packed with hidden-in-plain-sight historical detail.

Presenting city street views that span the hurly-burly decades between the gold rushes and Marvellous Melbourne, Shutter City is a time-machine, and Robyn Annear is your lively and insightful guide.

While stock lasts we are delighted to have signed copies of Shutter City available to buy online, and in our shops. 

Please note that signed copies are limited.
