Engineering Books shops and supplies in Melbourne ?
Hi Everyone ,
Just wondering what places in melbourne are worth a visit for books and supplies ? I will be in melbourne tomorrow while the wife goes to DFO so i thought i would check out Hare and Forbes in Dandenong . Are there any other places is should go to ? I am also looking for books on Lathe projects and hobby engineering anyone know of any bookshops that stock these ?

Agree in principle, but they used to be in Swanston St so I googled them and they list as 295 Swanston St.

Technical Book Shop - Melbourne
I am pretty sure the Technical Book Shop has closed down its shopfront in Melbourne?
The first step towards knowledge is to know that we are ignorant.

I think Plough Books are mail order or attend special venues only.
They have a web site with a catalogue on it.
They have quite a range of titles available.
