Our Story

Discover the legacy behind Australia's most beloved bookstore

Our History

Founded in 1886, Angus & Robertson began as a small bookshop in Sydney and grew to become one of Australia's most recognized bookselling brands.

We've been part of Australia's literary landscape for over 130 years, helping generations of readers discover new worlds through books.

From our humble beginnings to becoming a national institution, our passion for books has never wavered.

We believe in the transformative power of books to educate, entertain and inspire.

Our mission is to connect readers with the books they'll love, support Australian authors, and foster a lifelong love of reading in our communities.

Every book we recommend, every author we champion, and every reader we help is part of our commitment to keeping the joy of reading alive.
