A Family-Owned Gem
Books@Stones is a family-owned business run by Karen and Michael Weibler, who, alongside their dedicated team, pride themselves on offering personalised service and a thoughtfully curated collection of books.
The bookstore has been a staple of the community for over four decades, evolving from Balding Books to Allmedic Book Supplies and, since 2011, Books@Stones (incorporating Allmedic Book Supplies).
“We have an extensive range of Australian fiction, non-fiction, and children’s books,” Karen and Michael share on their website. “We also carry international fiction, non-fiction, and children’s books, as well as specialist medical textbooks.”
