A fantastic selection of books and music. The service is always prompt and pleasant, and the books and music are good value for money. Conveniently located very close to Central Station.

Simply a fantastic book store! You'll be hard pressed to find the same selection and variety elsewhere. They have a catalogue on computer in store which helps with finding if they have a particular book and where it is in the massive store. Other than books also a good selection of CDs and DVDs. If they don't have a book you want they can order it for you.

The staff member seemed very happy to be working there! Her big bright smile was infectious. Borders books are well priced, I'd go elsewhere for DVDs though. But I found a medium-sized notebook for $5 and I was pretty stoked about that.

I love books and when i first found this Borders store in the Brisbane city I fell in love! This is the biggest book store I have ever been to and is a book lovers dream come true! If you're looking for a book that you can't find anywhere else, come to this Borders store and I bet you'll find it! I have spent hours and hours in here just browsing the hundreds of thousands of books on display! You can even buy subscriptions to your favourite magazine here!

Borders have great staff and an extensive range of books and magazines, I'd go there first for books over any other store. The staff seem to know their products and are always happy and willing to help.

Borders have some great deals when you join up to their email list and you can get up to 40% off RRP. They are much more expensive than Amazon, but you can take the book home with you instead of waiting weeks for your delivery.

Borders is always a great place to shop. The variety is fantastic and if they don't have what you want the staff are always happy to try and lcoate it for you. Prices aren't anything to write about - just standard RRP stuff.

Borders is always fun to visit. You can spend hours immersed in sampling books, CDs, magazines and going through stationary. The staffs don't bother you if you don't want them to but helpful if you need them.

What a fantastic shop! I love the fact you can have a cup of coffee and browse for ages. My only complaint is that the prices aren't very competitive unless you have a voucher.

Definately the best book shop you will ever go to....It's more than a book store actually - there's even a Gloria Jean's cafe downstairs. If they don't stock what you're looking for they will always gladly order it in for you - from anywhere!

The best book store by far. Borders does book stores the way they were meant to be. They have a huge range of books, DVDs and CDs. They provide places to sit while you browse through a book so you can decide whether or not to purchase. The customer service is good. Their discount coupons are very worthwhile.
