"The one stop shop for sci-fi, fantasy, horror books and much more"
"I've been going to the various incarnations of this bookshop for over 40 years, so that says something"
"I think the other reviewer was rather harsh"
"Galaxy is a wonderful place"
"Admittedly, I haven't been to Galaxy Bookshop for about twelve months or so, but it is still the best bookshop in Sydney for all those hard-to-find titles"
The one stop shop for sci-fi, fantasy, horror books and much more. This shop has a long established history and never disappoints. There is quite a bit of Dr Who stuff that is now very difficult to find. Friendly knowledgeable staff and a great place to escape the bustle of the city with their huge assortment of specialty books. Fantastic location just across from the QVB building and very close to Town Hall railway. A must do place whenever your in the city. Located upstairs at Abbeys Books.
I've been going to the various incarnations of this bookshop for over 40 years, so that says something. Although it is much reduced from previous instances in size it still carries the largest Sci fi and fantasy range in Sydney. The shelves are quite close together, which makes browsing harder than I would like, but it's a minor inconvenience. Those who work there are knowledgeable and friendly whenever I visit.
I think the other reviewer was rather harsh. Times are tough in many industries, but the range on offer still far exceeds most similar shops, and the service, in terms of enthusiasm and knowledge, has always been excellent. No, it isn't the same shop as before the move, but is it still worth a visit? Emphatically, yes.
Galaxy is a wonderful place. A really nice atmosphere, great range and competitive pricing. Staff are always lovely and enthusiastic, often geeking out with you over what you're reading or upcoming releases. Also they're proactive about getting in up and coming books, plus the latest on events like signings.
Admittedly, I haven't been to Galaxy Bookshop for about twelve months or so, but it is still the best bookshop in Sydney for all those hard-to-find titles. Pleasant staff, great atmosphere and a very wide range of books. Needless to say, I shall not be waiting another twelve months before I go there again.
I've been shopping here for decades, and it is the premium bookstore for sci-fi in Sydney. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, and dealing with real people is good. Also, you can walk out with your purchase and start reading it on the train on the way home.
My favourite bookstore in all of Australia. The staff are actually huge fans of the genres they specialize in and they are always helpful and friendly. The store does some great events (Joe Abercrombie visit) and have a wide selection. Recommended!
Big THANK YOU shout to Craig and Dave for their helpfulness in organising a hard-to-get book delivered on the same day, for a birthday boy in hotel quarantine! Great stock and knowledge and good old fashioned, professional service. :)
Beautiful scifi bookstore in the heart of Sydney with huge selection of hard-to-get titles even hardcovers! The staff was friendly even when I bothered her with questions regarding the dwindling Warhammer 40k novel stock.
Close to the QVB and well known as a book shop for book lovers, this store is very helpful. They stocked and SOLD OUT of my book DIE DOLLAR DIE. From an author whose book has sold here, thank you.
Always have a fantastic range, especially in this modern digital book age, so I'm more than willing to travel from the mountains into Sydney even just for a looksee on my days off!
Oh my goodness of you want a bookshop for all things sci fi and paranormal this is it! Lovely staff with a passion for their books and ephemera.
Love this place. I always go when I visit from WA, you can find books you can't in any other main stream bookstore and the service is fantastic.
Great range of books and collectibles for SciFi and Fantasy fans, and the bookstore below has a great range of books aswell for all tastes.

Such a good book store, huge selection of sci fi books and super friendly and helpful staff. Fun to browse as well …
Another destination bookstore in Sydney. Galaxy specializes in sci fi/ fantasy. Reminds me of Bakka-Phoenix in Toronto.
Very friendly and helpful staff. Good selection of books. Aisles are a lot more spacious since the reorganisation.
