Teenage Girl Reading at Hay-on-Wye Book Festival
A holiday's ideal for bookworming and, sometimes, reading about your destination really enhances the trip. For those of us who can't afford a holiday or are fresh out of leave, brilliant travel writing can be the next best thing. And what about bookshops? Finding a dusty, secondhand emporium or trendy gallery shop can make your day. We know Been there users are a learned lot so tell us about your favourite travel writing or bookshops, wherever they are. Send a tip about your favourite travel book, or favourite bookshop, to Been there by Monday July 14, and the tip we like best will bag a copy of Time Out's 2008 New York city guide, complete with detailed maps, independent reviews and the inside track on local culture.

    Beyond Q

    Posted by Zanzibert 9 December 2009

    Beyond Q is an extraordinary second-hand book shop, cafe, and live music venue hidden in the Curtin Shops, Woden, Canberra.

    It's inconspicously located downstairs from the central square, and has a vast collection of constantly changing books, antiques, ephemera, and old typewriters. The cafe and service is very friendly and the books are well-priced. They regularly feature exceptional items, making them well worth repeat visits!

    Beyond Q (formerly Lawton's Antiquarian) is hidden downstairs from the public square in the Curtin Shops. Follow the sign outside the stairs. Open every day from 8am to 6pm, and sometimes even later.
