Shop in Store
You can shop for all your Back to School requirements - books and stationery - directly in store. The best part? Lilydale Books takes care of everything for you. That’s right, you don’t have to aimlessly walk through aisles, you don’t have to decipher product codes or apprehensively pick up books hoping they’re the right ones. Our friendly and knowledgeable staff will discuss your requirements and pick and pack your entire order. They will even go one step further and help carry your order to the car if you need a helping hand.
Shopping in store could not be easier.
- Return your paper booklist to your school or the store, indicating a pick up date (minimum of 10 business days may be required during busy periods).
- Alternatively, visit us on any day during our opening hours and have your list fulfilled on the spot (Note: during busy periods the wait time may be extensive, but rest assured we have airconditioning!).
Lilydale Books saves you money!
At Lilydale Books, we aim to keep our prices affordable without compromising the quality of the products we source and our services.
Compared to our well known competitors, you will find the total cost of your booklist to be at a much lower price. Furthermore, if you order online and your booklist qualifies for free shipping, there is already a substantial saving!
Second Hand Books
Lilydale Books is one of few businesses in Melbourne that offer a combined service of buying and selling second hand school books.
We know that new textbooks can hit hard on the hip-pocket. This is one of the ways Lilydale Books provides a more affordable option to buy school books. Second hand books are 33% cheaper than the Recommended Retail Price (RRP).
Lilydale Books will also take your current edition second hand school textbooks, novels and scientific calculators (TI-Nspire CX Cas and Casio Classpads) on consignment at the end of the year. Many customers have benefitted from this service.

Are you from a non-booklisting school?
If you have a booklist from another supplier such as Campion, you can still bring your list to Lilydale Books and take advantage of our affordable prices, second hand book service and exceptional customer service. Lilydale Books fulfils any Victorian school booklist!
