For more details see About Us - but note that since March 2017 Astrolabe no longer has its own shopfront. However, much of our stock is on display - and for sale - in Hobart at Scotty's on Argyle (formerly the Antiques Warehouse - yes, we preferred that too) in their new premises at 276a ARGYLE STREET, NORTH HOBART (just up from the Burnett Street corner). This shop is NOW OPEN - Monday to Saturday 10am to 5pm & Sunday 12 to 4pm. As before, all enquiries should be directed to Michael Sprod on 0408 132 970.

From this website you can search or browse our inventory of hard-to-find, out-of-print, secondhand and rare books. The Quick Search box to the left of this page can be used to search by author's name or partial title. You can also use a 'keyword' here to find books on a particular subject - for example 'convicts'. Note that you can use more than one word, joined with a plus (+) sign, e.g. tasmania+convicts+women.

?

The Advanced Search option allows you to make a more specific search, including the publisher, but note that keywords can not be used with that option.

Our subject categories are useful also, but as each book could be listed under more than one category, a keyword search is likely to discover more titles.
