A second-hand and new bookshop and cafe on Hall Street, a block from Bondi Beach, opened in 2001 by Jane Turner and the writer Katerina Cosgrove and now run by Turner with her children Kate and Jordan. It takes its name and its salon idea from Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas: some 18,000 books over the walls, floors and tables, a kitchen doing breakfast and lunch and a chai people cross town for, and an after-hours literary salon of book clubs and author nights. National Geographic has ranked it among the world's ten best bookshops.
