Ariel Books

The verdict

Long Sydney's best independent bookseller, Ariel has, like the book trade, had a challenging time, but it seems to have emerged with a minor redesign and a refocused energy on providing the best in illustrated and photographic tomes as well as cards, paperbacks and small design gifts. Ariel's knowledgeable and friendly staff offer fabulous reviews across all genres, and are always happy to lend advice.
