The history of one of Australia’s biggest secondhand bookshops

This video takes a look at an Australian institution, Gould’s Book Arcade just before its relocation in 2018, with a particular emphasis on the life of Bob Gould, the bookseller and ‘Sydney radical’, as recounted by his daughter Natalie.

Established in Sydney in 1967, Gould’s Book Arcade is Australia’s largest retailer of used, remaindered, out-of-print and rare books under one roof. Since 1988, the shop was located at the city end of King Street, Newtown, but then moved in late 2018, to 536 King Street, directly opposite Alice Street in south Newtown.

It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
