Country Tales Bookstore in the beautiful village of Bright in North Eastern Victoria is for sale. 

Renowned for its stunning natural surroundings, Bright is situated in a picturesque green valley at the foot of Mt Buffalo and Mt Hotham with numerous rivers and lakes nearby.  It is the ultimate tree-change destination providing many summer and winter activities as well as having a strong vibrant community spirit, good schools, a hospital and a very strong tourism sector (the city of Albury is one hour away and Melbourne is three and half hours away). The Bookstore is located in a lovely old building with wooden floorboards and stained glass.  It was completely repainted and refurbished 3 years ago when the bookstore was started and has purpose built floor to ceiling timber bookshelves lining the walls with additional freestanding units. The business has been successful from its first day and is hugely supported by the local community as well as taking advantage of the tens of thousands of tourists that visit Bright every year.  The owner, Sally Taylor, is very reluctantly selling because her partner has been relocated overseas.  The business is very profitable, easy to run (full training provided-booknet software used), has part-time staff who can stay on if required and is very rewarding and stimulating as only an excellent quality independent bookstore can be. 

Further information can be obtained by contacting Real Estate Agents Dickens (03 57551307) or by contacting the owner, Sally Taylor directly (0411216462) - or viewing Dickens website. Priced to sell: $160,000 plus SAV.

A second-hand bookshop specialising in Romance and Mystery in Sydney has to move because the building it is currently operating out of is being demolished. All books are covered in bookguard and clean, there are over 10,000 books spread roughly 50:50 over both genres, many are difficult to find and have never been published in Australia. The bookshelves and all shop fittings are included as are two web site domain names, www.themysterywoman.com.au and www.theromancelady.com.au. The mystery website is half finished and you can see half of the mystery books in the inventory for a view of what is available.

As it will have to be moved I am only looking to recover the cost price of all books and shop fittings and there is no goodwill component in the sale price. It would be a good business for anywhere in Australia.

Removal costs will be borne by the purchaser.

24 Tall Bookcases
