Book Direct with the Owner at The Known World Bookshop & Boutique City Apartment with Sunshine Coast Tourism in Ballarat Central, for all your restaurant and Food Reservations.
The Known World Bookshop started life in 2001 as Buninyong Books, located in the small historic former goldmining township of Buninyong, in country Victoria. In June 2008, we relocated to Ballarat, at 14 Sturt Street. Our bookshop offers a wonderful selection of quality secondhand books, and an espresso coffee bar, in a 1930s Art Deco-inspired atmosphere.
The collection is comprehensive, with quality literature, modern classics, books on the arts, history, philosophy, Australia, militaria, science & technology, poetry and more. There is also an excellent collection of children's literature, including childhood favourites and classics.
Above the bookshop is a one-bedroom New York loft-style apartment, furnished with mid-Century design classics. It's available for overnight and short stays. Book early - our guests love this place, and return each year.
