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

If you adore books, you’ll love Chapter Two Books…

Nestled in the beautiful Adelaide Hills township of Stirling, the collection of books in this charming bookstore is exceptional.

“We realise everyone has different tastes and interests,” says Nick (co-owner of Chapter Two Books), “but we wanted to create a bookshop where you could walk in blindfolded, grab any book off a shelf, remove the blindfold and say ‘hey, that looks like a great book!’”

To do this, Nick and Kate have returned to times gone by; each week, hundreds of books are painstakingly scrutinised, judged, compared and evaluated before selecting the very best of those books to put on the Chapter Two Bookshelves.

Describing their customers as “intelligent and thoughtful with very high standards and expectations”, this friendly, atmospheric and (oh my gosh) tidy little bookshop is a true Adelaide Hills hidden gem. 

“We respect and understand our customers,” says Kate. “Reading is one of life’s simple pleasures - we work hard to make sure that pleasurable experience begins when you walk in our front door.”
