Marissa's Bookstore

New books, old favorites and unexpected finds among the antiques.

New + usedRare finds

A used and new bookshop in a former car mechanic’s workshop on a busy Millcreek intersection. Books are displayed by genre in artistic cases alongside antiques. Runs free-book events for teachers and children and carries standing deals for educators. The deepest selection score in the record at 23 out of 25. No air conditioning, a small car park, and narrow aisles in places.

The quick read

Your kind of place?

Go if

you love the hunt, if you are a teacher, or if you want a bookshop that feels like wandering through somebody's personal collection rather than shopping.

Go elsewhere if

you need a cafe, easy parking, wide aisles, or air conditioning in August.
