Welcome to Rosetta Books.
We are located in Maleny, in the beautiful Sunshine Coast hinterland.
Our iconic bookshop has been in operation since 2001 and has established a strong reputation as a destination bookstore amongst locals and visitors alike, winning numerous community/business awards.
At Rosetta Books, we strive to be your one-stop shop for all your reading needs. We also stock a range of cards, stationery, gifts, games and puzzles. Our carefully curated selection of books, from classics to bestsellers, will keep you entertained and informed. We also have a wide selection of books for children that will help your little ones explore the world of reading.
Our Rosetta Books team believe in the power of books to transform lives. That’s why we work hard to foster a welcoming book-loving community. We host events such as book clubs, author visits, and workshops to bring readers and writers together.
We also have an ongoing donation program to the Indigenous Literacy Foundation to help make reading more accessible for children in remote communities. You can donate in-store or find out how you can help HERE.
So come in and discover the world of books waiting to be explored at Rosetta Books or browse our catalogue in the menu on the left.
Rosetta Books recognises and honours the Jinabara and Gubi Gubi peoples’ connection to the land on which we are located. We pay our respects to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander writers and artists for their storytelling, their expression and sharing of their culture, and knowledge of Country.
