About Us
Andrew's Books is built on the premise that reading is valuable, capable of stirring emotions and firing the imagination.
We sell a wide variety of books and cards at competitive prices, and strive to provide excellent and innovative service to customers.
From humble beginnings, with just two boxes at Wantirna Market, we have enjoyed considerable success. We now operate two stores, and are seeking to develop a range of other retail outlets, building a reputation for ourselves as a bookseller that's 'always worth a browse'.
The mission of Andrew's Books is to provide customers with excellent service, value and range while empowering employees to achieve their full potential.
The vision of Andrew's Books is to expand our business and benefit an increasing number of customers and employees. We plan to do this by bringing our range of books and cards to consumers in a variety of innovative ways. More customers will receive excellent service, value and range and more employees will be empowered to achieve their full potential.

The Retail Department of Andrew's Books consists of five divisions.
|
The Bookshop Division is made up of traditional bookshops such as our Ivanhoe shop. This shop boasts a long history, loyal customers and a strong local presence. |
 |
| |
|
The Open Shop Division includes shops located in consumer spaces that do not have walls, such as our Carlton shop. Shutters are used to secure shops outside of normal operating hours. Open shops provide a unique browsing environment and draw in many passing customers who would not normally visit a traditional bookshop. |
 |
| |
|
The Kiosk Division operates kiosks in areas of high consumer traffic. Kiosks are manned, stand alone retail outlets. They maximise the retail potential of a small area without obstructing through traffic. |
 |
| |
|
The Outpost Division runs tables and cabinets outside partner retail outlets. Outposts are serviced regularly by Andrew's Books operators, who restock and maintain the display. Purchases are made at the partner retailer's counter. Outposts attract passing customers and provide an enticing entrance to shops. |
 |
| |
|
The Mobile Division operate enclosed, waterproof and secure trailers that function as mobile bookshops. These trailers can move easily to various retail locations such as markets, festivals and shopping strips. |
