We are open!

The Bookshop remains open for business. Please feel free to come into the shop to browse and purchase books. A place of calm in a turbulent world.

Home delivery service

We are pleased to offer our customers, old and new, a postal delivery or home delivery service for as long as our community needs it in these unprecedented times. We will not charge for home deliveries to local suburbs.
We are happy to help with your selection over the phone. Please call us on 9384-4423 or email us at orders@lanebook.com.au to place an order and make credit card payments by phone. You may also review the book recommendations on this website and order a book by clicking ‘order this book’ together with any instructions.

Where browsers are always welcome

Located in the leafy Perth suburb of Claremont, The Lane Bookshop is a truly independent seller of books. Since opening in 1980 we have been sharing our love of all things literary with customers young and old.
We carry a wide range of books by local, national and international authors. Whether it’s fiction, non fiction, adult or children’s books, if we don’t have the title you are searching for we will gladly try and order it in.
Our staff all read voraciously and love nothing better than chatting about books with customers. We happily recommend books for schools, libraries,  book clubs or people just chasing a great read for themselves. Many book clubs meet in The Lane Cafe opposite the bookshop and we always enjoy being invited over to present titles worth considering for discussion.
