At Beaufort Street Books, young readers head straight for the green shag-pile rug in the children’s book zone, leaving grown-ups free to browse the quality selection of new fiction, classics and more.

Owner Jane Seaton, who once dreamed of running a bakery, presides over one of Perth’s largest range of cookbooks.

More than just a shop, Beaufort Street Books is a community hub for book lovers and foodies, where you can meet authors and cookbook writers at literary lounge events, watch a cooking demonstration, take a yoga class, or curl up with some popcorn for a book-themed movie night.

Story time for the kids and children’s-author events also feature. Titles include new release and classic fiction, and quality non-fiction titles in categories such as parenting, philosophy, art, travel and design.
