AbstractHistoryArchive Description

‘When Margareta Webber opened her bookshop in Melbourne in 1931, she joined a number of other small bookshops — Gino Nibbi's Leonardo Bookshop, Cheshire's, Everyman's, A. H. Spencer's Hill of Content, Parr's, the Book Lovers Library and Bookshop, the Literature, Chaucers, Mrs Ellis Bird's,W. P. Lineham and J. Donne. One thing that distinguished Margareta's shop from the others was that it had no shop front. It was upstairs on the fourth floor of McEwan House at 343 Little Collins Street. The shop's gracious and comfortable style became synonymous with her name as a bookseller.’ (Introduction 214)
