Welcome to Sappho Books

General Second-hand Bookstore, Cafe & Wine Bar

Sappho Books & Cafe is one of Sydney's favourite General Secondhand Bookshops. We have over 30,000 titles available in a huge range of categories - Art, Literature, History, Politics, Religion, Philosopy, Foreign Language and Modern & Contemporary Fiction to name a few. Many out of print and "hard to find" books can be found at Sappho.

Opposite Glebe Primary School, the site of the popular Glebe Markets, Sappho Books has offered browsers the ideal used bookshop experience for over a decade. We buy and sell used books and have two floors of packed bookshelves for you to browse.

At the rear of the shop is Sydney's acclaimed Sappho Cafe, Wine & Tapas bar - a popular Glebe destination. By day, the cafe is a favourite meeting place for university students, tourists, locals and the occasional celebrity. By night the Wine & Tapas bar boasts an eclectic crowd out for a different Sydney experience.

The courtyard at the rear of the rambling building (circa 1880s) is home to a generation of graffiti – a legacy of its former life as a youth centre. Rather than white-wash the history of Sappho’s new home, owner Meredith Baillie has made the street-art a feature of the inviting garden courtyard.
