QBD Books, originally Queensland Book Depot and formerly "QBD" The Bookshop!, is a large chain of bookshops in Australia, with the majority of stores found in the states of Queensland and New South Wales. The business started in the late 1890s as a means for the Uniting Church to sell religious texts. However over the years the consumer market changed and the business was sold to the Robinson family in 1991.
QBD has since grown into Australia’s largest Australian owned and operated book retailer, with over 85 stores operating across the country.[1] With millions of titles available across all genres, including the latest Australian Geographic products, QBD Books have a book for every interest.
