The Story

Behind The Nile.

    For over 20 years, The Nile has been sharing stories with Australians.

    More than just an online bookstore, The Nile is an Australian story, built with care and connection over two decades. Unlike some of the giants out there, we're not aiming to house every book under the sun in our own Melbourne warehouse. Instead, our strength lies in our direct relationships with all Australian publishers. This means that even if a bestseller isn't immediately on our shelves, we can often order it directly and get it to you with speed and confidence. (So, while we might not be Amazon, we think our approach offers something special! )
    And for our friends across the ditch, we also have a secondary warehouse in New Zealand.


    Our close ties extend beyond Australia, with strong networks built over 20 years with major US and UK wholesalers. This ensures that if a book exists, we can likely bring it to you. These amazing networks and systems allow us to quote accurate timeframes, and we pride ourselves on delivering on them.


    We're proud to be an Australian company that's been part of the online book world since its early days, offering a huge range at good prices, backed by genuine knowledge and a commitment to serving you well.
