Even before its cinematic debut in the film "Erskineville Kings", Gould's was arguably Newtown's best known secondhand bookshop, with floor to ceiling shelves and big discount bins full of unsorted treasures just waiting to be discovered. A lot of genre fiction finds its way into Gould's (Horror and Sci-Fi especially), but you will also find some great traditional and contemporary classics. There is also a big newstand at the front of the store, directly in front of Mr Gould's mantle.
