Great shop to while away a few hours! Huge range of books and staff are very knowledgeable. Parking can be a problem though, particularly on weekends.
Borders has a great selection of books and arts and crafts, its a great place to hang and the cafe makes it more appealing, i do however think theres a lack of bargains or deals at times.
Good hours and range, great for kids books and movies..parking often difficult.. we usually go after 7 when its OK, I take the kids for an icecream while she shops!!!!
Approximate cost: $med to high
Well laid our Borders.. a great resource in our area. Staff more friendly and helpful than in Prahran, and almost as many books. Great coffee shop adjacent... Plenty of movies!! I tend to duck into this one when I want to have some time out for myself, or send the family off to Sofias while I find some books. For anything specialist I tend to use other stores, but they have been helpful and tolerant of children, and the place is pleasant with a huge number of books
Approximate cost: $average prices, better than average value
Kat1 from Camberwell was not very pleased with Borders, but I must say that on my recent visit there I was greatly impressed by the absolute helpfulness of a young lady staff member. I was hoping to find a literary criticism book by an author whose novel I had found on the shelves, and when I showed the title of the book that I was after the staff member checked the computer and made two different telephone call and finally told me that the book had been published in 1998, not reprinted and was now unavailable. I have since found, too that even Amazon has none in stock. I was most grateful for her help and bought the novel anyway.
Approximate cost: $20.00
Was disappointed with staff care levels & knowledge of books. :( I was in fact even told a book that I was looking for was "unavailable" but they were unable to give me details. Tried another local bookstore who immediately was able to place on order for me! Also, with a book that they were able to find the details of, they wanted a deposit & said it would take 6-8 weeks to arrive, which I was able to source elsewhere with a 2 week delivery time & NO deposit required to order.
Borders really know how to run a book shop. The children's area is fantastic. We always end up purchasing something after a lovely time looking through children's books together. The range is excellent, the store layout is user-friendly and the staff are helpful. You can almost always find the title you are looking for.
I've been to Borders Camberwell a few times now and I really enjoy that they allow you to sit whilst browsing through books. Their range is absolutely amazing - more like a library than a book store LOL. I'm not sure how the other two book stores in Camberwell cope now, but I've certainly converted to Borders
There are always lots of staff on hand to help you in this very large Borders book shop. three levels of every book you could want and quick delivery from neighbouring stores if the book you're looking for isn't there!
