Overview

When it comes to books, not everyone wants to completely embrace the digital age. The texture and smell of a book is something that no iPad or Kindle can copy. To help you embrace your love of books without breaking the bank this year, the Queen Victoria Market is launching a huge new weekly book market.

If you ever visited Fed Square's packed book market, you'll know what to expect: this one's run by the same people. More than 5000 pre-loved and new books on every topic under the sun — from history to gardening, travel to art and literature — and a heap of secondhand vinyls will fill the market every Sunday. This should make for some very happy browsing and even happier reading later on.

After briefly relocating to the Abbotsford Convent, Melbourne Book Market will make its home at the Queen Victoria Market for much of 2019, holding weekly Sunday markets from January 20 until April 14, and then again from May 12 until August 25 (with no markets held between April 21 and May 5).

The Melbourne Book Market runs from 10am–4pm.
