About Us.

Dillons Bookshop is an Adelaide institution, having first opened its doors in 1984 as a small shop at 160 The Parade, Norwood.

Dillons has expanded four times since it’s opening, with the shop now occupying over 700 square meters. In 2019, the shop underwent a significant renovation, with an expansion of the floor space, a shop redesign, and the addition of the now iconic wooden tree.

In 2023, the founders of Dillons Bookshop, Ross and Sue Dillon, were awarded a Life Membership for their outstanding achievements within the Australian book industry.
