In this episode, I chat with Ben O'Connell about running a third-generation bookshop, his love of Australian historic architecture, and the magic ingredients that make indie bookshops thrive.
O'Connell's Bookshop is Adelaide's Oldest Secondhand & Antiquarian Bookshop. The bookshop was established in 1957 by Reg O'Connell and is now run by his grandson, Benjamin. The shelves are filled with a vast selection of books, including classics, popular fiction, art, history, Aboriginal culture, military, Australiana, music, philosophy, 'Beat' writers, children's, first occult, esoteric & attractive Folio editions.
