Osborne Park, Perth
Our Story
Bella’s is a cozy haven for book lovers, where pre-loved books find new homes and readers find community. Empowering local creatives and supporting poeple with disabilities – we run on the smell of an oily rag and live to pay the rent.
Purpose & Origins
Born from a love of reading
Bella’s Second Hand Books began with a simple idea: that a bookshop can be more than a place to buy books. It can be a gathering space — somewhere Perth’s readers feel at home. What started as a passion for reading grew into a community hub for anyone who loves the thrill of finding a treasured book.
Every pre-loved book we shelve is a small act of sustainability — a good story given a second life and an affordable home. We curate our collection with care, so there’s always a treasure waiting to be discovered, and always a friendly face happy to help you find it.

“I stumbled across Bella’s Books by accident last week and decided to go in with my wife. It was a surreal experience, like going back in time. The shop has a certain magic – it was peaceful, welcoming, warm and felt full of history. Even the scent of old pages as you first walk in the door. Not to mention the selection was out of this world (and we lived in London for a couple of years).”

“Bella’s is your good old fashioned second hand book shop. Books floor to ceiling, in boxes and there’s always another corner to look around. You may have to try a couple of sections to find what you looking for, but that’s the joy. You discover other books you didn’t realise you were looking for.”
