So many beautiful books pass through our doors. These sumptuous titles are perfect for revelling in the photography in a quiet moment or presenting as a gift that will be remembered.
Looking for a special gift - perhaps for yourself? Many authors have walked through our doors (and browsed our shelves) at 131 York Street in the heart of Sydney.
Look for the green SIGNED tag - while stock lasts.
We have two ways you can make someone feel special - an Abbey's Gift Voucher or Abbey's Gift Card. Gift Vouchers are redeemable online or in-store and have no expiry date.
OUR ONLINE GIFT VOUCHERS are a fast and simple way to email your gift - either directly or send later on. Or perhaps you want to print it yourself and pop into a card. Try it out - just enter the amount and type in the recipient's name, and your name and message.
OUR GIFT CARDS remain popular with customers who like to give something tangible. Gift Cards are credit card-sized and fit easily into your purse or wallet and come enclosed within an attractive presentation slip. They are redeemable online or in-store. Gift Cards have no expiry date and are mailed out Express Post. View the range of gift values we have online, or if you want any other value, please phone 02 9264 3111 or ask in-store.
Find more info about redeeming vouchers and cards in our FAQ: REDEEMING VOUCHERS
