We can afford to be fussy - we only squeeze top quality titles onto our shelves.

Chapter Two Books are dealers in quality second-hand books. Whether you are looking to buy something great for yourself (or a friend), pass your books on to somebody else or just cannot track down that elusive title, you must check us out.

Or you might just be looking for the perfect way to spend a lazy afternoon in the Adelaide Hills - our little Chapter Two Bookshop in Stirling has all you need to enjoyably pass the hours!

“Always read something that will make you look good if you die in the middle of it.” - P.J. O’Rourke

Hey, Chapter Two… what’s happening?

Writers Week

Welcome (back?) to Adelaide everyone involved in this year’s event. If you want to do some homework, we have plenty of books by authors visiting and talking at Writers Week. We also have the programs available for sale in-store, so come in to your one-stop WW bookshop.

Military Books

Come and check out the new additions - we even have a few brand new never-been-read, mint-condition books (mainly reprinted unit histories).

ART! ART! ART!

We have expanded our art section to accommodate a couple of collections bought recently. We know how much Adelaide Hills residents love your art - see our Recent Acquisitions page for more details.

New Fire Season Policy

In light of new Fire Danger ratings, we are implementing a new policy for Chapter Two Books: we will be closing the bookshop on days when the predicted rating is set at ‘Extreme’ or ‘Catastrophic’. We are not anticipating this will occur very often (remember, this is not a heat issue - there are other factors that affect these ratings), but we hope you understand when these conditions do occur, it is advised that people not put themselves in high-risk areas. Send an email or have a chat with us if you would like more info about this policy (or check out the article on Pg 3 of The Courier click here). For further info about the new ratings, go to www.cfs.sa.gov.au. Take care. Nick & Kate.

Recent Acquisitions

We’ve bought a couple of large collections recently and unearthed a number of gems - keep an eye on our Recent Acquisitions page for more info…

Attention Blogaholics

To make it a bit easier to chinwag about booky things, we’ve set up a blog page at chaptertwobooks.blogspot.com which we hope will encourage all sorts of interesting discussion, or at least be an easy way for us to update you about the little things that happen from time to time.

THANKYOU!!

Thanks to the hundreds of book fans who crammed into Norwood Town Hall on Nov 7-8 for our Massive Book Sale. Stay tuned - we really enjoyed the vibe and, come the New Year, I’m sure we’ll have accumulated some more great bargains!

Thanks also to all those who helped out - Willy, Sayed, Sebastian, Jonty, Anna, Durin, Saiko and a special thanks to the City of Norwood, Payneham & St Peters for providing such an excellent venue.
