Welcome to Sappho Books

sappho booksGlebe’s long-standing Sappho Books and Cafe has moved into a previously derelict building opposite Glebe Primary School, the site of the popular Glebe Markets. With a stock of over 30,000 general interest second-hand books, Sappho Books has offered browsers the ideal used-bookshop-experience for a decade.

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.
