Electric Shadows Bookshop

About

Electric Shadows Bookshop is one of Canberra's oldest independent book stores. It opened in 1987 as an off shoot of Canberra's longest running independent arthouse cinema of the same name (Electric Shadows Cinema 1979-2006) and as a consequence is still a specialist film, theatre and arts bookshop set amidst an eclectic and interesting selection of general subjects - from fiction to philosophy, from politics to poetry, from biography to gardening and from cooking to children's books, plus a great selection of beautiful and unusual cards, wrapping paper and quirky gift items.

We also sell and rent a diverse range of world cinema DVDs.
