The Boys' Bookstall was a bookshop for boys in Sydney c.1920s. There is a description of their services inside the front cover of Eaglehawk : Chief of the Tribes of Arunta, the first book in the publisher series, The Boys' Bookstall Series:
'The policy of The Boys' Bookstall is "All kinds of boys' books stocked, and all school books, stationery, and requisites supplied. Any book procured if not in stock." The Boys' Bookstall is the only one in Sydney which deals exclusively in boys' books, and therefore we can give boys better service.
Our customer is generally a boy who calls in by himself or with his parent or mate, for The Boys' Bookstall is the place for all boys to buy their books. We have many boy customers whom we have never seen, for they deal with us by postal note and letter; the postal notes being obtainable at any Post Office. Other boys ring us on the telephone to enquire about books.
The Boys' Bookstall is not like a big shop, for you just call in, take a chair, and in comfort, privacy, and at your ease, talk about the book you wish to obtain.
Rawson Chambers is on the corner of Rawson Place and Pitt Street, facing Sydney Station. Go to entrance in Rawson Place, take lift to Third Floor, then turn to right, and, having found 398, walk in, for we welcome you. Make up your mind to find it the next time you are in Sydney, for once having found it you will know where to come for all time.'
