Obz Books is a cluttered, browsable secondhand bookshop on Lower Main Road, stocking a wide mix of old and new titles alongside records, CDs, DVDs and posters — the kind of shop where an afternoon can disappear without much effort. A small cafe at the rear opens onto an outdoor courtyard terrace, making it easy to buy a stack of books and sit down to start one immediately.
It's open seven days a week and stays a fixture of the neighbourhood's secondhand culture even as some of Observatory's other old bookshops have come and gone. A natural stop between the vintage clothing stores and cafes further down Lower Main Road.
