Verso Books
Explore an expert curation of titles covering everything from craft to crime, and from parenting to poetry.
Overview
In 2017, the picturesque town of Healesville welcomed this charming independent bookshop, built on a fierce love of great words. An expansion in early 2021 saw Verso Books double in size, cementing its status as a complete bookworm's haven — the kind of warm, inviting space in which you'll happily lose an afternoon, browsing gems from top local and international authors. Here, explore an expert curation of both fiction and non-fiction titles covering everything from craft to crime, and from parenting to poetry.
The staff are friendly, plus they're always handy with the wise book advice; whether you're after the perfect present, or hunting a new tome to grace your own bedside table. The store also boasts a great collection of magazines, stationary, puzzles, gifts and games — consider it a one-stop shop for top finds, literary or otherwise. Verso Books in Healesville may be a little ways out of the city, but it is still one of Melbourne's best bookshops, worth taking the leisurely drive to.
